HELPFUL RESOURCES >BLACKBOARD>FAQ>ASSIGNMENTS How do I set up my course so that students can turn in assignments on Blackboard? There are two assignment collection options available to instructors in Blackboard: the Digital Dropbox and the Assignment Manager. While both tools may be used to collect student work within your Blackboard course, they offer different options. Digital Dropbox
The Digital Dropbox provides an area where students and instructors can store and exchange files. Students are able to store files in their Digital Dropbox and/or send files to the instructor's Digital Dropbox. Instructors are able to store files, receive file from students and send files to single, select or all students in the course. If an instructor decides to collect student work via the Digital Dropbox, the instructor goes to their Digital Dropbox through the Control Panel of their Blackboard course to locate student files.

The Assignment Manager allows instructors to build assignments within the Content Areas of Blackboard. Students are able to view an assignment and send their comments and files to the instructors from within the assignment. Instructors go to the Gradebook to view assignments and to post comments, feedback and grades. Click here for instructions on using the Assignment Manager. Which Tool Should I Use? There are many factors to consider when deciding to use either the Digital Dropbox or the Assignment Manager. 1. The number of students in your course.
2. The number of assignments students will complete during the semester.
3. Do you accept multiple drafts of assignments?
4. Are any of your assignments group work?
