Uploading Marks and Feedback

The package you upload must be a zip file containing only the following:

  • The original .xls spreadsheet that was downloaded from Blackboard, with your marks and text feedback added
  • Student feedback files (in the required format)

It must not contain any folders or student submission files.

QUICK STEPS: Uploading your marking into Blackboard

  1. Enter your Blackboard course.
  2. Under the Control Panel, enter the Course Tools area and select Marking.
  3. Select Spreadsheet Marking (Marks and Feedback).
  4. Select the Upload button for the assignment you are working with.
  5. Find the zip file by using Browse My Computer, or if you have stored the zip file in your Content Collection, use Browse Content Collection.
  6. Once you have found the zip file, select it and then select OK.
  7. Add some Comments to help identify the upload. These comments will be visible to all instructors on the course via the Release Marks and Feedback page. This is not comments or feedback for students.
  8. Select Submit.
  9. A Release Marks and Feedback page will be displayed. If the upload is successful you will see the message: Marks and feedback have been successfully uploaded.
  10. Select OK.

Once you have uploaded your marks, you will automatically be taken to the ‘Release Marks and Feedback’ page. You can also get to this page via a ‘View & Release’ button which will now be visible on the initial ‘Marks and Feedback’ page. The ‘View & Release’ button only appears once the first upload has been made.

Your upload, along with any others, will be listed with a link to the zip file, your comments, your name and the date/time of the upload.

The Module Leader is responsible for releasing marks.
