Blackboard Gradebook Training Resources

There are multiple ways to add grades to the Blackboard gradebook. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Manually Adding Grades to Blackboard Video | Article
    Create grade columns and enter grades directly—ideal for transparency when you’re not using Blackboard assessments.
  • Importing Grades Through an Excel Spreadsheet Video | Article
    Prefer to keep your grades in Excel? You can bulk upload them into Blackboard for easy grade management.
  • Creating Assessments Create an Assignment | Create a Test
    Build assignments, quizzes, and discussions with point values to automatically generate gradebook columns—perfect for auto-graded quizzes or online assignment submissions.

We also recommend setting up an Overall Grade Column to track student progress throughout the term and submit final grades through Blackboard. This makes final grade submission seamless, eliminating the need for manual entry in Banner.
