Blackboard full guide
Assessments
Build quizzes, exams and submission “boxes” for essays, papers and projects. These components make it easy to set submission criteria, keep student work organized, display rubrics, track work that needs to be graded, and provide grades and prompt feedback to students. Assessments can be graded numerically, with written feedback, with inline comments and in the case of objective tests automatic feedback.
Content
Create content, design how your course content will be presented and decide where to locate course components. The content components allow the material to be presented in a way that will work for both you and your students. The options for these components will allow you to release materials on specific dates and track who has accessed which parts of your courses.

This menu allows you to edit and access various options for a previously made component. You access it by mousing over a component's name and then clicking the arrow that appears to the right of the name.

Tools
Engage in meaningful communication and collaboration through group work, discussion boards and journals, to name a few of these interactive features. These tools connect students with each other and with you. Be as interventive or hands-off as suits your style of teaching. Blackboard communication tools are useful for private conversations as well as whole-class dialogue.
