EMA Integration: Blackboard assignments

This guide is relevant to the following Modes of Submission:

Electronic Document (Individual – Blackboard)

Presentation (Individual) – Blackboard

Video assessment (Individual)

Duplicate submission (Blackboard)

 

Back to RISIS Modes of Submission – full list

 

Helpful tip!
If you have staggered deadlines and want to create a number of Blackboard Assignments for a single RISIS assessment, you will need to select Electronic Document (Individual – Blackboard – rolling deadlines) as the Mode of Submission. This creates a Weighted Total column which can be mapped to multiple Blackboard Assignment.

 

Set up submission point

Integration will create a Blackboard Assignment in the ‘Assessment’ area of your course.
The assignment name will take the format
[IC] Module code-occurrence letter – RISIS Assessment Title
e.g. [IC] MM1F12-A – Essay 2
