Students may be asked to download and/or upload assignments in Blackboard. The following instructions may be provided to students to help them submit an assignment.
Download and save a file
When you find an Assignment in Blackboard, you may be directed to submit a completed assignment or both download a worksheet/handout and then upload the completed assignment.
If one is provided, download the assignment file (worksheet, handout, etc.). Save the file on your computer with your last name in the title, as in JonesWorksheetTwo.doc. Please avoid any special characters, such as # . , ; : ' " / ? ~ ! @ $ % ^ ( ) & or *
Such characters will make the file unavailable to open.
Submit the assignment
- Return to the assignment page in Bb and, under #2 Attach File, find and select your document using the Browse for local file button.
- Then click on the Attach File button.*
- Under #3, submit the assignment by clicking the Submit button.
* experienced Bb users will want to note that this is a new step. Skipping this step will result in an error message to the instructor rather than a submitted file.
