Blackboard Version 8
Version 8 offers faculty a new Grading Center which allows faculty to create smart views for multiple sections and grading periods, and also progress reports. To learn more about the Grading Center, click here. Version 8 will also bring back some old favorites, such as marking discussion board posts read and unread. You now also have the ability to create Self and Peer Assessments.
