How do I check my grades in Blackboard? Provided your instructor is using Blackboard, he or she may decide to post your grades in the course. Check with your instructor for additional information & instructions. In looking at the gradebook in Blackboard, I see that the dates are not from this semester! Is this a problem? This date is simply the date when the gradebook assessment was first created, and that it has nothing to do with the date that you are taking the class (or completing the assignment). How do I use the Digital Drop Box? For a tutorial on the Digital Drop Box, please see http:/lakelandcc.edu/dl/bt.htm Digital Drop Box: Instructor says my assignment is missing Digital Drop Box: I am unable to delete from the Digital Drop Box You can not delete files from the drop box. You should submit the new version of your assignment with a message in the comments area informing your instructor that you have submitted a new version. You may also wish to email your instructor to inform them you have re-submitted your assignment. Be sure and check your instructor's policies on re-submitting work. Using Blackboard's Assignment Feature The first step is to complete the assignment in the manner specified by your instructor. Once you are ready to submit your assignment, click on the View/Complete link in the new screen that appears, use the browse button to browse for your document and upload it to this online assignment sheet form (upload it just as you would add an attachment to an email message) For a tutorial on the Assignment Feature, please see http:/lakelandcc.edu/dl/bt.htm The dreaded 'lock' symbol ../Images/examLocked.jpg This symbol occurs when something goes wrong. Several things could have occured (a) Your internet connection stopped working, (b) your browser or computer crashed, (c) you pressed the back button on your browser (rather than the 'previous' button for one-question-at-a-time exams), or (d) you pressed 'Save' instead of 'Submit'. After you take a quiz or exam, or submit an assignment using the assigment feature, you should always check the gradebook to ensure your work was submitted properly. Is there a way to upload test or quiz questions as a batch rather than creating them one at a time in the Test Canvas? Yes. You can create the test or quiz as a specially-formatted text file, send it to the Instructional Technology folks, and they can use a software tool called Respondus to upload all the questions at once. Contact the Instructional Technology team for details. http://www.lakelandcc.edu/dl http:/lakelandcc.edu/dl/ Where did these questions come from? Some questions & answers were taken from the University of Alaska http://technology.uaa.alaska.edu/blackboard/studentfaq.cfm
