Bb Learn Assignments -- Creating and Modifying Assignments
Introduction
Regular Bb Learn assignments allow students to upload one or more of most any type of file to Bb Learn, and allow you to grade the assignments in Bb Learn or download them from "Full Grade Center."
When you create an assignment submission link, a corresponding column in “Full Grade Center” is also created.
When students click the assignment submission link and upload their Word or PDF or whatever file, the assignment submissions will all be available for grading through the column in “Full Grade Center.”
