You can create a Blackboard Assignment submission link or a group in several course areas including content areas, learning modules, lesson plans and folders.
One student from the group accesses the submission link and can upload a video, type a submission and attach files on behalf of the group. Marks and feedback can be directed to the entire group or can be customised to individual group members,
- Navigate to the page on your Blackboard course where you’d like the link to appear. If your course is using the Aston Blackboard Template, this will be The Assessment Submission area.
- On the action bar, go to Assessments and then click Assignment. This opens up the Create Assignment page.
- ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
Enter a name for the assignment. This will be what the student sees and will also be the name of the Grade Centre column for this assignment. - Enter any instructions you need displayed on screen when the student submits work.
- If this is a video submission continue onto the next step. If this is not a video assignment, jump to the next appropriate step.
(If you only see one row of icons in the toolbar, click the ellipses … icon at the right) Click the Additional content icon to open the pop-up menu.
From the list select Panopto Student Submission. This will add a list of instructions the student needs to follow. More importantly, it will add a link to allow the student to set up their video library.
You have now added the link to Panopto My Folder and the instructions.
You can edit any of the added text, but you must leave the Panopto video library link present.
If you see this message, you need to provision the course with Panopto. You can finish working on your submission link and then come and add in the Panopto submission tool once you have provisioned the course.- ASSIGNMENT FILES
