Body
Overview
Blackboard allows instructors to print tests or assignments along with their answer key. All question types, attached image files (i.e., .png and .jpg files), and text will appear in the printed version of the paper. Additionally, extra credit questions will still be identified by a purple medal icon once printed.
Printed answer keys will identify the correct answer for each question. If you have not entered an example of a correct answer for an essay-style question, the answer area of those questions will remain blank.
Note: Non-image files (i.e., Microsoft documents, PDFs) will not properly display once printed.

Special Note about Printing Test Pools:
