Assignments & Tests

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.
