Blackboard: Making marks & feedback available/unavailable to students

Hiding marks & feedback during the marking process

When you create an assessment in Blackboard (Test, Assignment or Turnitin Assignment), a column is automatically created in the Grade Centre and, by default, the data in that column is visible to students via the My Grades tool and the Global Navigation menu.

You will normally want to hide marks and feedback from students while marking and moderation is taking place.

 

How to Hide from Students

Go to Control Panel > Grade Centre > Full Grade Centre.

Click on the editing arrow next to the title of the column you wish to hide.

Highlighting Chevron

Simply click on Hide from Students (On/Off).

Menu item hide from students on/off

How do I know if a column is hidden?

A hidden column appears with this icon in the Grade Centre.

How do I reveal a column which has been hidden?

To unhide a Grade Centre column, just go through the same steps again:

·        Go to Control Panel > Grade Centre > Full Grade Centre.

·        Click on the editing arrow next to the title of the column you wish to reveal.

·        Choose Hide from Students (On/Off).

This will make the data in the column available to students via the My Grades tool or via the Global Navigation.
