This article is for instructors looking to create Forms in their Blackboard Ultra course. Forms can be utilized to gather input and feedback from students.

Overview

• The Form tool is similar to the Survey tool in Blackboard Original courses.

  • In Ultra, instructors can choose to make the Forms submissions anonymous or not.

• A Form will also have a corresponding Gradebook column which, by default, is ungraded (no point value) and set as Complete/Incomplete grade display.

  • In Form settings, it can be made into a gradable item by clicking the checkbox for Grade form.
