Bb Learn Grading Assignments -- Attaching a Word Doc or Other Type of File -- Alternative Method

Introduction

Here is an alternative method for attaching one or more Microsoft Word documents or other types of files when you grade an assignment so that a student can retrieve these files when they view their grade on the assignment.

If you want to download all student submissions for an assignment at the same time, follow the instructions at the webpage below.

Instructions

Here is how to attach a Microsoft Word document or other type of file so that a student can retrieve this file through Bb Learn if there is a Bb Learn assignment submission link provided for the assignment in your Bb Learn course shell.

  1. Go to "Full Grade Center," hover your mouse over the cell of a student's paper you want to grade, click the circled down arrow that appears, and select the "Attempt," or submission, to grade.

    If there are multiple attempts or submissions, they will be listed in chronological order, with the earliest submitted attempts listed on top.
