Change folders to learning modules or learning modules to folders – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 
Updated Topic: Create Containers for Content 

Instructors 

Instructors can now change a folder to a learning module or a learning module to a folder. Benefits of changing a folder to a learning module include: 

• Thumbnail images: Learning modules come with thumbnail images, which provide a visually appealing course experience. 
• Forced sequencing: Instructors can force students to navigate learning modules in linear paths. 
• Progress bar: Learning modules have a progress bar for students that highlights the number of items that they need to complete and their progression on those items. 
• Previous and next navigation: Students can quickly navigate to the next or previous item in a learning module.

Improvement to rendering of uploaded files - 3900.110

Impact: Instructors, Students 

Instructors and students

Files uploaded by instructors to Blackboard now retain their original formatting and characteristics wherever instructors can upload files. Previously, formatting changes may have displayed with uploaded files, such as PowerPoints or Excel worksheets. With improved rendering, students can view files in their original format, leading to a better overall user experience.

This improvement is now available in both test/stage and production environments for Ultra and Original courses.

AI Design Assistant -- Set a larger maximum number of generated questions and learning modules – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 
Updated Topic: AI Design Assistant 

Instructors 

When using the AI Design Assistant, instructors can now set the number of questions generated for tests and question banks to a maximum of 20. The maximum number of learning modules that the AI Design Assistant generates also increased to 20. Generating more questions at once reduces the chance that similar questions will be generated. The default number of questions and learning modules generated remains 4.

Upload images to Documents using the new image block – 3900.110 

Impact: Instructors 
Updated Topic: Create Documents 

Instructors 

We added an image block to Documents. Instructors can use image blocks to upload their own images, use the AI Design Assistant to generate images, or select images from Unsplash. Image blocks can be moved throughout a Document, just like other block types. Instructors have the option to resize images, set height, and maintain aspect ratios in image blocks. A dedicated image block makes adding images more apparent. Adding images via the image block also reduces white space around images and provides greater control over content design.

Mask access code for an assessment – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors, Students
Updated topic: Access Codes section of Assessment Settings

When an instructor or exam proctor enters an access code for an assessment on a student's computer, the code is masked (*******) to ensure enhanced security. Previously, the code was visible when entered on a student's screen, compromising the secure testing environment.

Image 1: Masked access code

Instructors

The process for adding an access code is unchanged. When an instructor adds an access code for a test in Assessment Settings, the access code is masked by default. At any time, the instructor can select the eye icon to show the access code in Assessment Settings.

Improved performance for assignment file submissions – 3900.110

Impact: Students
Updated Topic: Submit an Assignment section of Submit Assignments

Students

The latest updates bring significant improvements to assignment submission uploads, ensuring a smoother experience for students:

• Timed assessments: When a student uploads a file just before the timer runs out, the upload will complete before the attempt is auto-submitted.
• Re-upload workflow: If a student's file doesn't upload correctly, they can easily re-upload it using the new workflow.

Students can now be confident that their files are successfully attached, received, and stored. They will be notified immediately if there are any issues with their file submissions.

Enhancements to course groups – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors, Administrators
Updated Topic: Create and Manage Groups

Instructors

To simplify group management and enhance usability for instructors, we made several improvements to course groups: 

• Activity-level groups are now course-level: All new groups are now course-level. Instructors can create course-level groups directly from a content item, eliminating the need to manage groups at the activity level. 
• More warnings and restrictions: To prevent the creation of empty group sets during group assignments, we added restrictions and additional warning messages. This helps instructors make informed decisions and avoid disruptions in group management. 

Image 1. The new warning for when an instructor creates a group assignment with an empty group.

• Simplified group creation: The option to reuse activity-level groups was removed. This change encourages instructors to focus on course-level groups and reduces confusion. 

Existing activity-level groups in a course will remain activity-level. 

Administrators 

When copying course materials to a new course from the Administrator Panel: 

• Group assignments with activity-level groups associated with a copied content item will not be duplicated. 
• Copied content will indicate that it previously had groups with a “No groups” label, helping instructors understand the history of the content and encouraging the use of the new group management system.

Instructors can choose to exclude attempts that they do not intend to grade. Excluded attempts are removed from the Needs Grading workflow and any gradebook calculations.

Conversion of existing assignments to the new assignment workflow released in 3900.98 – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 

In the 3900.98 release in August 2024, we separated the workflows for creating a test and creating an assignment. Prior to the 3900.98 release, the Create Assignment and Create Test workflows shared the same content and settings. The 3900.98 enhancement made each workflow distinct, where the Create Assignment workflow now contains only assignment-specific content and settings, while the Create Test workflow remained unchanged. The new assignment workflow enhancements included:

• A new Instructions box with a full content editor for detailed assignment instructions.
• A streamlined Settings panel with only options relevant to assignments.
• No option to add questions, as assignments cannot contain questions.
• Attempts are only created when students interact with the assignment, such as submitting a file or adding content to the editor.

As part of this release, we are performing a one-time, automatic bulk conversion of assignments created created prior to the new assignment workflow released in the 3900.98 release. After the bulk conversion, all assessments will follow either the assignment workflow released in the 3900.98 release or the test workflow. This will ensure that converted assignments benefit from the new assignment workflow's features. 

Assignments will be converted in a one-time, bulk process following these definitions:

• Assignment: Any existing assessment without questions (such as MCQ, Essay, Hotspot) is classified as an "assignment.". Assignments will be converted.
• Test: Any existing assessment with questions (such as MCQ, Essay, Hotspot) is classified as a "test." Tests will not be converted.

The conversion will not affect the following items:

• Existing student assignment attempts and grades
• Existing gradebook calculations
• Assignment Settings and Category designation
• Tests

To ensure a successful, consistent conversion to the new assignment workflow, we updated the following processes:

• Converting courses
  • Assignments will convert to the new assignment workflow.
  • Tests without questions will be set to Hidden from students.
• Copying items
  • Assignments copied from Original courses will convert to the new assignment workflow.
  • Tests without questions copied from Original and Ultra courses will be set to Hidden from students.
• Restoring Original archive/export packages
  • Assignments will convert to the new assignment workflow.
  • Tests without questions will be set to Hidden from students.
• Restoring Ultra archive/export packages
  • Assessments without questions will convert to the new assignment workflow.
  • Tests without questions will be set to Hidden from students.

Administrators 

During the conversion, assessments that are being converted will have an entry of Assignment added to the BBMD_ASSESSMENT_SUBTYPE column in the QTI_ASI_DATA table.

The bulk conversion will occur during the release upgrade. The release upgrade might take longer than normal.

Test Settings usability improvements – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 

Instructors

To enhance usability and improve the test-building experience, we streamlined the Settings panel for tests by removing the following assignment-specific options:

• Collect submissions offline
• Use grading rubric
• Maximum points
• 2 grades per student
• Peer review

By simplifying the Settings panel, we reduce complexity and save instructors time, allowing them to focus more on creating effective assessments rather than navigating through numerous options.

Additionally, we updated the functionality for student visibility options and release conditions for tests. Now, instructors must add one or more questions to their test to make it visible to students or to add release conditions. This ensures that students only see assessments that they can actively engage with.

Improvements to grading interface – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 

Instructors

To optimize the use of screen space and to give graders a larger view of the student submission, we redesigned the grading interface for assignments and tests.

We implemented the following design changes:

• Relocated the Previous Student and Next Student navigation controls next to the attempt grade pill and removed the gray bar that these buttons were on.
• Replaced the Previous Student and Next Student buttons with <> arrows.
• Moved the avatar, student name, and submission information to the existing black bar and removed the white bar where the information was previously listed.

Mayor precisión al cargar calificaciones y comentarios en la versión 3900.110

 Afecta a los profesores 

Profesores

Los profesores ya pueden cargar las calificaciones y los comentarios para actividades, diarios y debates con mayor precisión. Antes, cuando los profesores cargaban las calificaciones, siempre se almacenaban en la modificación manual, lo que dejaba sin calificar los intentos o entregas subyacentes. Esto hace que las etiquetas Necesita calificación y Nueva entrega siguieran visibles, incluso cuando la calificación se ha hecho sin conexión.

Las calificaciones y los comentarios cargados ahora se asignan correctamente al intento o a la entrega correspondiente siempre que sea posible. Esto evita confusiones y ofrece más claridad a los profesores.

Actividades de un solo intento

• Intentos sin calificar. Cuando detectamos un intento sin calificar, la calificación se guarda en dicho intento, se borran los indicadores de Necesita calificación y Nueva entrega, y se elimina cualquier puesta a cero automática.
• Intentos calificados. Si el intento ya está calificado, la calificación existente se actualiza según corresponda.
• Modificaciones manuales existentes. Si ya existe una modificación manual, solo se actualiza la modificación manual. No se realizan cambios en la calificación del intento.
• Sin entrega. Si un estudiante no ha enviado un intento, la calificación se almacena como una modificación manual.

Actividades con varios intentos

• Intentos sin calificar. Si no se califican todos los intentos, la calificación se asigna al intento adecuado en función del modelo de agregación:
  • Primero: La calificación se asigna al primer intento.
  • Último: La calificación se asigna al último intento.
  • Todos (mín., máx. y promedio): La calificación se asigna al último intento. Se excluyen todos los demás intentos.
• Único intento calificado. Para un solo intento calificado, se actualiza la calificación existente.
• Múltiples intentos calificados. Si se califica más de un intento, la calificación se guarda como una modificación manual. Las etiquetas Necesita calificación y Nueva entrega permanecen sin cambios.
• Modificaciones manuales existentes. Si ya existe una modificación manual, se actualiza la calificación de la modificación manual.
• Sin entrega. En el caso de los estudiantes que no han realizado ninguna entrega, la calificación se almacena como una modificación manual.

Debates y diarios

• Entregas sin calificar. En el caso de las entregas sin calificar, la calificación y los comentarios se añaden a la entrega, y se borran los indicadores Necesita calificación y Nueva entrega.
• Entregas calificadas. Si la entrega ya está calificada, se actualizan la calificación y los comentarios.
• Modificaciones manuales. Si un estudiante tiene una calificación modificada manualmente, la calificación de anulación y los comentarios se actualizan.

Improvement to rendering in Bb Annotate - 3900.110

Impact: Instructors, Students 

Instructors and students

We enhanced how files submitted by students are rendered in Bb Annotate. Previously, formatting changes during the rendering process made grading more challenging for instructors. Now, files display with the exact same formatting as when they were submitted, ensuring a smoother grading experience. This feature was well-received by customers in a tech preview! 

Supported file types include: 

• PowerPoints
• Excel worksheets
• PDFs
• Other common formats 

Additionally, the warning about potential formatting changes during the conversion process has been removed.

This improvement is now available in both test/stage and production environments for Ultra and Original courses.

Improvements to grade entry for discussions and journals from the Grid view or Grades & Participation page – 3900.110

Impact: Instructors 

Instructors

Instructors can now enter discussion and journal grades directly in the Grid view or Grades & Participation page with improved accuracy and consistency. Previously, grades entered in these views were stored at the override level. This caused confusion as underlying attempts remained ungraded and continued to display the Needs Grading and New Submission flags. This update ensures that grades entered this way are properly mapped to the underlying attempt or submission when applicable.

Grade Entry Requirements

• Ungraded Submissions. For ungraded submissions, the grade and feedback are added to the submission, and the Needs Grading and New Submission flags are cleared.
• Graded Submissions. If the submission is already graded, the grade and feedback are updated.
• Overrides. If a student has an override grade, the override grade and feedback are updated.

Improved student email notifications in multi-brand environments – 3900.110

Impact: Students, Administrators 
Updated Help page: SIS Framework Overview

We have updated the Blackboard SIS Integration Framework to support multi-brand environments. It now includes a field that stores the login URL for each user. This update improves the accuracy of email notifications to students.  

A multi-brand environment is a single Blackboard environment that supports multiple institutions, such as an instance shared by several different universities within a regional system. If a student or instructor has not previously logged into a Blackboard environment that supports multiple institutions, an automated email notification could potentially direct them to an incorrect login URL.  

If your institution doesn’t use a multi-brand Blackboard environment, there is no action you need to take.

Students and instructors

Email notifications will be more accurate and support requests will be reduced with this update. There are no user interface changes.

SIS safety improvements in Administrator Panel – 3900.110

Impact: Administrators 
Updated Help page: Snapshot Flat File Integration Configuration, Course Examples, User Examples

We are introducing two changes to our Student Information System integration process to protect against loss of data from small mistakes when updating data. Two related features are added: 

1. SIS integration settings update: Purge is now replaced by Smart Delete in the Delete column within the Object Handling section of the Edit Snapshot Flat File Integration page. In a few instances the label Purge has been retained.  
2. User interface change: On the Upload Feed File page in SIS Integrations, the Complete Refresh option is discouraged through changes to labeling. 

Smart Delete

Previously, the only options for handling most data types were: 

• Do not disable or purge
• Disable
• Purge

Some data types like Course Associations can't be disabled. If a small corrective file was mistakenly uploaded in Refresh mode, or if an automation error caused a partial upload with the Purge setting, it could result in large amounts of data being deleted unexpectedly.

Now we separate the Delete mode behavior and Refresh modes behavior (the latter which imply deletion). When the mode is Delete, the delete option is now Smart Delete. Smart Delete has the same effect as the previous option Purge. When refreshing data, the data not in the file, but owned by the integration, will be disabled. For data types that don’t support being disabled such as Course/Organization Association and User Associations, Purge will delete data. 

When a file is uploaded in Delete mode, and Delete is set to Smart Delete, the data will be deleted.

Image 1: In the Object Handling section of the Edit Snapshot Flat File Integration page, the option Purge is now replaced by Smart Delete in the Delete column. Some Object Types such as Course/Organization Association and User Associations retain the Purge option.

User interface changes for SIS Integrations

To avoid unintended loss or disruption of data, the user interface within Upload Feed File page in SIS Integrations discourages the use of Complete Refresh and Complete Refresh by Data Source. These options are now grayed out by default. 

Image 2: In the Upload Feed File page, the options Complete Refresh and Complete Refresh by Data Source are now grayed out by default.

Options Complete Refresh and Complete Refresh by Data Source can be enabled by selecting the checkbox Enable Advanced Options. However, a warning appears describing these options’ unintended consequences and that they are rarely needed in this mode in the graphical user interface.

Image 3: A new checkbox option Enable Advanced Options enables the options Complete Refresh and Complete Refresh by Data Source. Selecting Enable Advanced Options also raises a warning about the unintended consequences of these enabled options.

Anthology Adopt – Task List building block

Impact: Administrators 
Updated pages: Anthology Adopt building blocks

Anthology Adopt now features a Task List building block to create onboarding workflows and in-app experiences to guide Blackboard users through specified workflows.

An administrator may want to create Adopt guides within Blackboard that align with the order of a user’s workflow. The Task List building block makes it easy to design logical, customizable guides to align with the look and functionality of an institution’s Blackboard instance.

The Task List building blocks provides:  

• Sequential progression. Organize guides in a logical order to create structured learning or task completion.
• Progress tracking. Indicate completed guides to give users a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to continue.
• Customizable appearance. Align a task list to match your app's design and user experience.

For more information on creating guides using the Task List building block, go to Anthology Adopt building blocks.
