Blackboard: Downloading files submitted to a Blackboard Assignment

Introduction.

This guide describes how to download the files submitted by students to a Blackboard Assignment.

You can download

• individual files, from the Blackboard Annotate marking interface
• all files submitted to an assignment, or files submitted by specific students, via the Grade Centre.

Downloading individual files

When you are viewing a specific student’s submission, you can view most file types inside the browser.

You can also download individual files.

You might want to do this

• to mark files not supported by Blackboard Annotate
• to check apparent oddities in the way files are formatted on-screen .

Downloading multiple files

• Locate the column for the assignment.
• Click on the More Options button beside the title of the assignment in the column header.

• From the Download Assignment page you can: ·        Select individual assignments to download by ticking the box beside the student’s name. ·        Choose to download all of the assignments by ticking the box next to the Name column header.
• Under Select Files, you can choose if you want to download: ·        The ‘Last attempt file’ – this will download the most recent submission a student has made (and in most circumstances is the attempt you want to mark or review). ·        Or ‘All attempt files’ – this will download every submission attempt a student has made (where multiple submissions has been allowed).
• Click Submit .

8.    The assignments are prepared for downloading and the Download Assignment page shows that the assignments have been packaged.

9.    Click on the text ‘ Download assignment now ’ to download the files to your computer

‘Assignment title_student username_Attempt date and time_Original title of the file’

A corresponding text file with the same file name is produced that shows the student’s name and submission details, this includes, any additional comments the student made.
