Instead of using a traditional Blackboard assignment, your instructor may ask of you to submit a Google Assignment. You submission type is an expected Google Drive format – Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides. You can access all of these tools through your myUMBC account.
TIP: Before getting started on the submission process, you may want to work on your assignment in your Google Drive first, then come back into Blackboard to submit the assignment to your instructor.
