With the August 8, 2024 Blackboard Ultra release, the functionality of Assignments and Tests differs. Changes to Assignments: There are no options to add questions to an assignment. Assignments include a new Instructions box where instructors can use the full content editor to craft assignment instructions. The Settings panel now includes only options relevant to assignments. Blank attempts are no longer created when students view assignment instructions. The system only creates an attempt when students add content to the file drop zone / content editor. Note: Group or timed and proctored assignments continue to create attempts when students view the instructions.
Tests: Tests remain unchanged. Instructors can access all the same question types and settings options. Attempts are still automatically created when students view the test questions. |
