Before you Complete and Submit an Assignment or Test in Blackboard

Assignments or tests completed on a learning management system like Blackboard can be simple with some preparation and planning. Before you complete your first graded quiz, assignment or test in your Blackboard online course, please read the following tips and change your computer settings if necessary.

Important First Steps

Give yourself plenty of time before the graded item is due – don’t wait till the last minute! Leave time for your instructor or the college Help Desk to help if needed.

Computer and Browser Settings

Use an Updated, Supported Browser: When you log in to your Blackboard account at the beginning of the semester, please take time to click on the “Computer Needs” link at the bottom left of the WGTC landing page.

Before Entering Timed Homework Assignments

You should never enter a graded homework or other assignment until you are prepared for the work. Often heartache can be avoided by simply looking carefully in your text and working through problems and questions manually that may be either within the chapter or at the end of each chapter.

Taking your First Test

Avoid Testing During Your Computer’s Scheduled Software Updates and Virus Scans: If your computer is set to run software updates or virus scans at certain times of the day, avoid testing during these times, or change your computer’s schedule for scans/updates.

What if I encounter technical issues and do not know how to resolve them?

If you experience any difficulty with Blackboard, Banner Web, Office 365, or student email, we offer an online helpdesk to address technical issues you may experience and to provide guidance with usage of these systems.
