Blackboard Assignments
Your tutor may ask you to submit an assignment using Blackboard Assignments, which is typically used to upload documents or submit videos.
According to the University’s Anonymous Marking policy, unless your tutor tells you otherwise, please only use your Student ID number, and do not include your name on any submission you make through Blackboard Assignments.
This guide explains how to submit assignments using the web version of Blackboard, not the Blackboard Learn App. While it covers the standard submission procedure, your tutor might have adjusted some settings so you might see different options. If you have any questions, please contact your tutor.
How to find your Blackboard assignment
In general, assignment submissions for written work should be located in your module in Blackboard, in the Assessment area.
1. Log in to Blackboard and navigate to your module.
2. Find the submission point and click on it. The submission point should be located in the Module Assessment and Submission section, usually within the assessment or coursework folder.
3. Select Start attempt on the right hand-side opening panel.
4. The submission screen appears. You can see the details and information of the assessment as well as the area to submit your work.
How to submit your work
Using the submission area, you can upload one or several documents by using drag and drop files or the paperclip icon. Please do not upload a video file this way (you will need to use the Panopto tool). You can also add text directly in the submission area.
To add a video submission, click on the plus icon, then select Content Market. From the content Market area select Panopto Video – Submission (LTI).
(A video guide is available here).
You can also add text directly in the submission area.
You can then choose the option to submit a video: Choose, Upload or Record.
- Upload a video - simply drag your video file into the submission box or browse for the file.
- Choose an existing video from 'My Folder' (a video you have already uploaded or created in Panopto). Select 'My Folder' from the drop-down menu, then choose your video and click insert.
Please refer to the guides for instructions on how to create and save videos using Panopto.
Confirmation of submission
The files and/or video will then be embedded in the submission area. When ready to submit your work, click Submit.
Once submitted you will receive a confirmation email and be able to download your submission receipt.
