Enabling Offline Submissions and Grading Them

When collecting submissions in-person or on a platform other than Blackboard Ultra, an offline assessment can be created to store student grades and feedback. Unlike a grade column, offline assessments have more grading flexibility. There are more feedback options and a rubric can also be used to grade the offline assessment.

To enable offline submissions:

1. Open the assessment and select the setting icon located at the top right corner.
   
2. Select Collect submissions offline and save.
   
3. The content area of the assignment should now have the following notice:
   

To grade an assessment submitted offline:

1. Access the assessment from Gradebook.
   
2. Click on the name of a student to create their attempt.
   
3. Enter in the date/time they made their offline submission. After you make your desired changes, click Save.
   
4. The panel should enlarge into a window. Grades and feedback for the student can be now inputted.
