Posting ASSIGNMENTS in Bb (students and instructors)

Assignments list the name, description, and attachments for class work. Students complete the
assignment in a separate file and send it back to the Instructor. They may also include comments
for the Instructor if they choose.
 

Note:  When naming files please always use simple names without spaces or special characters and be sure to preserve the application extension (i.e. MSWord=.doc, MSExcel=.xls, MSPowerPoint=.ppt)

• Submit an Assignment
  Submitting an Assignment is very simple. On the Upload Assignment page, Students can add
  comments and specify files to attach.
  Instructors may create Assignments where Students do not need to attach files to complete them;
  Students can submit an Assignment without attaching a file. If Submit is selected, and no files are
  listed to attach, the Assignment is submitted and will no longer be available to the Student to
  complete.
  If the same file is attached to an Assignment more than once, the file name of the duplicate will
  automatically include a numeric suffix. For example, History_assignment1.doc.
  • Warning: Be careful in cases where files must be submitted in order to complete the assignment!

Note:  Assignments can only be submitted once.

  1. Select the Content Area from the Course menu that holds the Assignment. For example,
