Blackboard Tests (Ultra): 5: Marks and feedback posting and transfer


Once all marking and moderation has been completed, marks can be posted to students.

  1. Navigate to the Gradebook.
  2. Locate the Test you wish to release marks and feedback for from the list.

Warning: Marks and feedback can only be viewed if the Test remains unhidden.
  1. If you wish to release all of the marks and feedback and are confident that marking has been completed on all submitted work, you can post marks to students from this screen by clicking on the Post # marks button associated with the assessment (see below).
  2. If you wish to post marks and feedback for individual students, click the name of the assessment to look at each student’s submissions. Within this screen, you can sort by submission and student statuses and post marks for specific students (see below).

Once marks are posted they cannot be unposted: the only way to re-hide them from students is to hide the submission point.



Warning: In order to transfer marks to SITS, marks will need to have been posted to students in Blackboard. If marks need to be extracted prior to their being displayed to students in Blackboard, the submission point must be hidden.

Warning: Only administrators with the Marks Extractor role in Blackboard can extract marks.

  2. Click on View course and institution tools under the Books and tools header in the course’s menu bar
