Create an assessment

Blackboard offers the opportunity for continuous assessment through its Tests and Assignments features. Although there are slight differences, they are functionally the same.

A Blackboard group assignment allows instructors to create a submission point where one single submission can be applied to a pre-determined group of students. Instructors can mark for the group as well as provide custom marks for specific students, and can leave feedback for the group as well as custom feedback for specific students. 

An automatically marked assignment is an assignment that provides feedback to the student immediately after submitting their answers.

Once you are comfortable creating tests in Blackboard, you may want to adjust the settings to customise timings, delivery, and feedback.
