There are 24 different Modes of Submission defined in RISIS. You can see the full list, with details of what the integration will create, on our Modes of Submission page.
In most cases, integration creates only a column in the Gradebook. For example, if Turnitin is selected as the Mode of Submission, the integration will create a calculated column. Programme administrators will map this to the relevant Turnitin assignment in Blackboard, so that marks can later be transferred back to RISIS.
Submission points created by the Integration
In a few cases, the integration creates not only a Gradebook column, but the submission point itself. This applies to
- Blackboard Assignments – including Group Assignments
These will always be created in the ‘Assessment’ learning module of the relevant Blackboard course (usually at the bottom), and should moved to the relevant Assessment folder.
Gradebook columns created by the Integration
Any columns created by the Integration are named using a consistent format:
[IC] Module code-occurrence letter – RISIS Assessment Title e.g. [IC] MM1F12-A – Essay 2This applies whether the column is
- a Blackboard assignment – where the integration has created a submission point and the corresponding Gradebook column
- a calculated column
- a Manual Column
In most cases, you will never need to show these columns to students. However please check Should Integrated Columns be shown to students? for further details.
