00:00:08.620 --> 00:00:15.070
Hello, in this tutorial I will show you how to
create an assignment on your

00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:21.450
Blankboard course site. The Blankboard
Assignment tool allows you to collect students'

00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:27.870
papers on your Blankboard course site. To
create an assignment,

00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:33.000
click Assignments, then click Edit View.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:40.200
On the top right drop-down box, select
Assignment,

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.400
then click Go. Now, type in a name for this
assignment,

00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:51.710
for example, Essay 1. Points possible,

00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:58.800
for example, 10. In this text box, you can
type in your instructions

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:00.820
to students for this

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.000
assignment. Or, you can attach your
instruction file by clicking the Br owse button

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.560
and find your file and attach it here. If you
want students to access

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.110
this link to submit their assignment, right

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:25.880
away you can just select Yes, next to make the
assignment available.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.200
Or, you can check Yes here, but indicate a
time and

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.950
a date when students will have access to this
link.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.050
And also, you can also check the check box for

00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:49.160
display until. That will make the link
available only for

00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:55.460
limited time. And after this date and this
time, students will not be able to submit

00:01:55.460 --> 00:02:00.580
their assignment. So, after you set everything
up,

00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:06.000
click Submit to post this assignment. Click
OK.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
And now, your assignment is created.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.000
If we click Display View, we will see what
students will see.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000
So, the students, when they want to submit
their paper,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
they will come to here and click View Complete
Assignment.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.000
And then they can click Browse button to
attach their file.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.200
They can also add additional files if your
assignment requires them to submit

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.220
more than one file. And they can also write
some comments here if they

00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:50.000
wish. And then they should click Submit button
to submit the files.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.000
If they click Save button, the system, the
Blankboard will save their files

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.000
in their space on Blankboard. And you will not
be able to see their paper.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.000
So, they have to click Submit in order for you
to review their assignment.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.000
So, I just click Cancel.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.430
Now, to access students submitted paper, you
need to go to the Control

00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:25.590
Panel. Click Grid Center. Now, you will

00:03:25.590 --> 00:03:30.950
see Essay 1, that is the assignment you just
added.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.000
A column for this assignment is created in the
Grid Center automatically.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:43.810
Once students submit their paper, you will see
a green exc lamation

00:03:43.810 --> 00:03:50.160
mark here. And then you can click this action
mark and then

00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:51.810
select Grid

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.230
Details to download and review student paper.
