Once you create an assignment, you will then see the Assignment Canvas where you can build your assignment. To start building your assignment, click on the + icon under the text and graphic labeled "Use this space to build your assignment."

A menu like the one above will appear, which will allow you to select which element to add to your assignment:

• Add question pool
• Add Calculated Formula question
• Add Calculated Numeric question
• Add Essay question
• Add Fill in the Blank question
• Add Matching question
• Add Multiple Choice question
• Add True/False question
• Reuse questions
• Add text
• Add local file

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.
