Inline Grading is a Blackboard feature that allows instructors to comment directly on student submissions within the Blackboard environment, eliminating the need to download the assignments, comment on them, and then re-upload them to Blackboard. Check out Blackboard TV's overview the Inline Grading features below:
In order for instructors to use the Inline Grading feature, students must upload files in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF formats. This feature will not work with files uploaded in other word-processing formats. Students who use a program other than word to type an assignment should save as PDF before uploading the assignment to Blackboard.
Inline grading allows you as the instructor to comment on certain words, sentences, paragraphs, or entire areas of a student submission. You can highlight certain passages, place markers at certain points within the text, or draw boxes around areas within the document and then provide comments in the margin. You can also strike out certain words and provide text comments directly on the paper as well. Additionally, both instructors and students can download an annotated version of the paper with all instructor comments included.
