Submitting an Assignment Using Blackboard's
Assignment Manager

(information from Rutgers University, Newark, NJ.) http://blackboardinfo.newark.rutgers.edu/Tutorials/Assignment_Student.pdf

Blackboard provides a number of ways to submit assignments to your instructor. One
way is to simply attach a file to a posting in the Discussion Board. Any files posted to
the Discussion Board are accessible by any user who is given access to that Discussion
Board. Typically this would include any student in your class. Often, your instructor
wants you to submit assignments to him/her only. Blackboard has two options for this
kind of submission. One way is to use a tool called the Digital Dropbox which is located
under the Tools area in the menu.

However, this documentation discusses the submission of files using Blackboard's
"Assignment Tool". This feature allows you to submit a file directly to your instructor. It
may be confusing at first because there is often an area called Assignments in the
course menu. However, your instructor may use the Assignment Manager feature in
any content area (e.g. Course Documents, Unit 1, etc.).

Submitting an Assignment

Step 1: Click the View/Complete Assignment: link.

Step 2: Enter text in the Comments field.

Step 3: Click the Browse button.

Step 4: Locate and select the file, and click Open.

Step 5: You will be returned to the previous screen with a location in the Attach

Local File field. Click Submit.

Step 6: If necessary, additional files may be attached using the Add Another

File button.

Step 7: A receipt will indicate the successful submission with a date and time.

Click OK.

Reviewing a Previously Submitted an Assignment

Once you have submitted an assignment, you may review it by clicking on the
View/Complete Assignment: link. You will get a message indicating that the
Assignment is complete. Simply click the OK button. Your comments and
submission(s) will be displayed in area 2 Assignment Materials. Your grade,
comments from your instructor, and any returned files will be displayed in area 3
Feedback From Instructor. If you see an exclamation point (!), relax, that just
means your instructor hasn't finished grading the assignment.

Resubmitting an Assignment

The Assignment Manager only allows you to make one submission. That submission
may include multiple files, but they must all be submitted at the same time. If you need
to submit a revised assignment, either your instructor will create another "assignment"
to be submitted or your original submission would be cleared out of the gradebook to
"make room" for the revised submission.
