Microsoft Assignments

The Assignments and Grades features in the Microsoft Education tool in Blackboard allow educators to assign tasks, work, or quizzes to their students. Educators can manage assignment timelines, instructions, add resources to turn in, grade with rubrics, and more. Faculty can also select Learning Accelerators to add Reading Progress, Search Progress and other Learning Accelerators to the Assignment or integrate OneDrive files (see OneDrive Assignment Tool).

Key Integration Benefits:

Multi-Class Publishing: With Duplicate, you can copy the assignment to another class. With Copy Link, you can get a direct link to the assignment and share it over chat, email, or any other platform you use to communicate with your students.
