Student Submission Options
Assignments in Blackboard Learn Ultra can function either as an untimed exam by adding question types, or as a traditional assignment by adding text elements. Students can use the submission link at the bottom to attach files or type text. If question types are added, instructors can turn off the submission link at the end of the assignment.
If only text or files are added to the assignment, the student submission link is active and cannot be turned off.
If individual questions are added to the assignment, instructors can turn off the additional content submission link at the bottom of the assignment.
