The main improvement was allowing you to edit assessment details in RISIS, and for these changes to be automatically transferred to Blackboard. Editing assessment details in RISIS Any changes you make in RISIS will now be reflected in Blackboard, typically within a few minutes. Assessment Title The title of the Blackboard Grade Centre column (and submission point where applicable) will also change. Changing an assessment Title Due Date or Time Blackboard Assignments The new date and time will be applied to the submission point and Grade Centre column Modes of Submission which create a Manual Column The new date and time will be applied to the Grade Centre column. Modes of Submission which create a Weighted Column (e.g. Turnitin, Blackboard Tests) No due date \/ time recorded for the Grade Centre column, so no change. You will need to manually update the due date \/ time on the submission point. Changing the Due Date for an assessment Points Possible The new Points Possible will be applied to the\u00a0the Blackboard Grade Centre column (and submission point where applicable). Exception: on an assessment where there are already marks in Blackboard, the Points Possible in Blackboard will not be updated. Please contact it@reading.ac.uk for advice in this scenario. Changing the Points Possible for a Weighted Total column Changing the Points Possible for a Blackboard Assignment Changing the Points Possible for a Manual column Mode of Submission If the new Mode of Submission generates something different in Blackboard (e.g. changing from a Blackboard Assignment to Turnitin) then the old Grade Centre and\/or submission point will have &#8216;NOT IN USE&#8217; added to its name a new\u00a0Grade Centre and\/or submission point will be created. If the new Mode of Submission produces the same result in Blackboard (e.g. changing from Turnitin to a Multipart Assessment) then there will be no change in Blackboard. Changing the Mode of Submission Assessment deleted in RISIS The Grade Centre Column\u00a0 (and submission point where applicable) will have &#8216;DELETED&#8217; added to its name. Deleting an assessment Weighting No change in Blackboard &#8211; assessment weighting has no effect on the way assessments are set up in Blackboard. Editing assessment details in Blackboard The following fields in Blackboard are controlled by the Integration Assessment Title Due date and time Assessment Start date &#8211; i.e. Available from date Points Possible Additionally, for on-time submission points Assessment End date &#8211; i.e. Available until date If you edit any of these fields on an [IC] assessment or Grade Centre column, the changes will subsequently be overwritten with the correct data from RISIS. Deleting assessments in Blackboard If you delete\u00a0an [IC] assessment or Grade Centre column in Blackboard, and the assessment is still scheduled in RISIS, the Blackboard assessment \/ Grade Centre column will be recreated. Approving marks in Blackboard To Approve marks in Blackboard, to send them to RISIS, go to Grade Centre &gt; Manage Grade Centre &gt; Grade Approval and Transfer. The Grade Approval and Transfer screen has been redesigned, but works in essentially the same way as before. One improvement is that only Integrated [IC] Grade Centre Columns are shown on the approval screen. If you select Approve Grades for one or more student, these will transfer to RISIS at the next scheduled time. If you want to send marks to RISIS immediately, select Extract.
