\"Blackboard<\/p>\n

This weekend’s upgrade has now completed. You can log in again as normal, to access both Blackboard and Turnitin.<\/p>\n

The upgrade was carried out primarily to enable RISIS-Blackboard integration to take place later in the academic year, but it also brings a number of bug fixes, and makes available a few new features:<\/p>\n

Blackboard Assignments<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ability for students to download feedback from Blackboard assignments has been restored. They are now able to download an annotated copy of their work, containing all feedback added using the Box inline grading tool, as a PDF. <\/p>\n

Student help page: Blackboard Assignment – download marked assignment submissions<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grading in the Blackboard Instructor app<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is now possible to use the Blackboard Instructor app to mark work submitted to a Blackboard Assignment.<\/p>\n

This functionality is very new, and the TEL team have not yet had the opportunity to test it thoroughly, so please use it with caution. Check out the Grading in the Blackboard Instructor app<\/a> page on the Staff help site.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As ever, if you encounter any issues using Blackboard, please contact the IT Service Desk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
