The Grade Centre displays a column for each Blackboard or Turnitin Assignment, as well as any Blackboard Tests, or Discussion board posts, Blogs and Wikis that have been set to appear in the Grade Centre.  It is used as a mark repository and needs to be downloaded and archived as well as (currently) transferring into the student record system.

Please note that this DOES NOT download any feedback that you may have given. For this please see downloading and archiving Feedback given on any Blackboard Assignments, Discussion board posts, Blogs, Journals or Wikis.

When test results are downloaded the spreadsheet includes students’ names and usernames.  Unlike tests, surveys are intended to gather opinions form students where they can reply honestly because their anonymity is protected.  As a result, when you download survey results, the results will not include any information that identifies each student.
