Overview
Blackboard allows instructors to print tests or assignments. 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.
If you are printing an assessment with built-in questions, Blackboard will automatically include an answer key at the top of the relevant document. Essay questions will not feature the correct answer unless the "Example of a Correct Answer" space has been filled.
If using randomized questions or question pools, a new version of the test and answer key will be generated with each print.
Note: Non-image files (i.e., Microsoft documents, PDFs) will not properly display once printed.
