Inline Grading

Inline Grading is a new feature for HCC faculty in Service Pack 14 and it may cause some confusion. Now, without leaving the Grade Assignment page, you can view, comment, and grade student-submitted assignment files.

Inline Assignment Grading can convert, display, and annotate Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF file formats. This accounts for well over 95% of submissions to Blackboard Learn Assignments (based on sampling of Managed Hosting clients). File formats that cannot be converted will be presented for download, as in the past
