The Blackboard Learn Original Self and Peer Assessment tool allows students to review and assess work submitted by themselves and their peers. Using criteria provided by their instructors and optional sample responses, students can provide points and feedback for submitted assignments. The tool provides students a deeper understanding of the material and further insight into their own work through the evaluative process.

Create a grade specific adaptive release rule to make a content item visible to all users when a certain grade is achieved.  So, for instance, if you wanted the next module to not appear until a student received at least a B on a certain exam, then this would be a great choice.

Sometimes students submit the wrong file to an assignment area and need to resubmit their work. This walk-through demonstrates an easy way to give students an additional attempt on an assignment when they have already submitted the maximum number of attempts. This is often preferred to clearing attempts since it leave the original attempt intact. In order to do this the student must have already uploaded the maximum number of attempts.

Did you know that every time a student submits an assignment on Blackboard they now get an email receipt? This is useful to verify that a student successfully submitted the assignment.

The Portfolio tool is designed to allow students to reflect on their own learning. Students can add artifacts, design and share their portfolios. Instructors can also require a Portfolio as the submission in response to an Assignment in a Course.
