New Blackboard Features Fall 2017

Posted September 8, 2017

By: Laura Million

Following are some of the new features in Blackboard this semester: 

  1. Drag and drop to add files (faculty & students)  
    Blackboard's new "drag and drop" feature lets you upload course files more quickly and easily than before. Wherever you see a bold dashed line around the "Browse My Computer" button in Blackboard you can drag one or more files from your computer and drop them into the box to upload. The feature is available to both faculty (e.g. adding content files) and students (e.g. attaching assignment files). The "drag and drop" feature is also available in the Content Collection (click on the Content link from the mySIUE tab). For more information, see the KnowledgeBase article: "Upload a File."

  1. Submission receipts for Blackboard Assignments (faculty & students)  
    Students will now receive an email submission confirmation number after uploading a file to a Blackboard Assignment. Students can access that number in a notification immediately after submission and from My Grades.  Faculty can see student submission receipts through the Grade Center. See the KnowledgeBase article: “View Students' Blackboard Assignment Submission Receipts.” 


  1. Delete multiple grade columns (faculty)  
    Faculty can now delete multiple columns at once from the Grade Center's "Manage" menu. For more information, see the KnowledgeBase article: “Delete Multiple Columns in Grade Center.”


  2. Blackboard's New Mobile Apps (faculty & students)
    Blackboard has two new mobile apps - one for instrucotrs and one for students - that replace the old Blackboard Learn app. Apple users should be aware that the old Blackboard Learn app will no longer function when you upgrade to iOS 11. To download the new app, go your app store and search for either "Blackboard Instructor" or "Blackboard Student."

  3. Blackboard support has a new email! (faculty & students) 
    Please send all Blackboard-related issues or work requests to bbhelp@siue.edu. Include your course ID (BIOL-150-001-201735) and a detailed description of the problem or issue. This information will help reduce the time it takes to review the issue and get back to you.
