An Orientation to Blackboard’s Assignment Manager and
the Online Gradebook
In this workshop, you will use the
Assignment Manager to create an assignment, so please bring a sample assignment
sheet (in Microsoft Word, for
instance) with you on disk (or accessible via email). During the latter part of
the session, we will tour the online gradebook and learn how to download our
grades to a spreadsheet for printing and further grade manipulation.
