Struggling to stay organized as the semester winds down? Use Blackboard's tracking features to manage due dates, and set reminders to stay on top of your workload.

Here are some ways to track assignments in Blackboard Learn:

Progress tracking
Allows you to track your progress on course content, assignments, and tests. To turn on progress tracking, select a course, then Details & Actions > Progress Tracking. After the Progress Tracking panel opens, switch the toggle from off to on. You can review your progress on the Course Content page beside the item name.

Check if an assignment has been submitted
On the Course Content page, select the assignment link. A panel appears with the date and time you made the submission.

Student Activity Report for Assessments
As an instructor, you can see when your students opened, started, and submitted tests and assignments.

Access log
Once a student takes a test, you can see an Access Log of when they saved answers to specific questions and the approximate time spent on each question.
