You create tests and assignments in a desktop web browser view of your course. You can preview tests and assignments in the app and change some settings.
Preview tests and assignments
Navigate to Course Content in the app and select a test or assignment. You can see the assessment's details, such as due dates, the number of attempts allowed, and whether it's visible students.
Tap Preview to see what students experience when they complete a test or assignment in the student app. You can preview hidden or unavailable assessments in Blackboard Instructor, but students won't see this content in the student app.
Some test features aren't available in the mobile app. We suggest that you preview a test in Blackboard Instructor before you recommend that students take it in the Blackboard app for students.
