Blackboard Online 1: Non-anon & Group (Ultra) Workflow
This workflow supports non-anonymous online submissions by an individual student or group of students via a Blackboard submission point. This should be your first choice for most assessments that do not require anonymity as it provides the widest flexibility and number of options with the ease of transferring penalties and late submission information to SITS.
How to use this workflow
Click on the links to navigate to a section of the guidance. Within each set of
instructions, you’ll be able to navigate to the next or previous steps or return to the timeline. Each section is marked with the member of staff for whom the guidance is most relevant, but this may vary on a local level.
What options does this workflow offer?
This workflow can be configured to accommodate the following options:
- Turnitin similarity and AI writing reports.
- Distributed marking*
- The submission of any file type**
- The submission of multiple files for one assessment.
- Group submissions***
* Using Blackboard’s Delegated Marking features is not recommended at this time. This workflow uses an alternative approach.
**Some file types may not be suitable for a Turnitin similarity and AI check. To check what documents may not receive similarity or AI checks, please refer to Turnitin’s guidance.
*** Group submissions cannot generate Turnitin reports at this time.
Need further support? If none of the workflows provided can be adapted to meet current or reformed local practices and you would like further support developing workflows that meet your needs, please contact the Ultra Project team via blackboard-ultra@bristol.ac.uk including the unit code of the course/s affected (if specific) and the limitations you have met. Please note: we may not be able to meet complex assessment requirements during wave 1.
