Assignments allow students to submit electronic documents, text, or media in Blackboard Ultra Courses.  This walkthrough covers adding assignments to Ultra courses as well as assignment settings and grading.

When adding content in the Ultra course view, you can embed files directly in the submission allowing instructors to view and grade your work. This makes for a more seamless course. No need to worry about papers lost in transition over email.

As you work through your courses, you will encounter different types of assignments. These can be discussions, journals, projects, papers, quizzes, video quizzes, presentations, and more. Along with individual assignments, you may have group assignments.

This handout describes a student proposal assignment, where students describe what they will do for a semester long research project.
