BB9.1 For Faculty
The "Needs Grading" error has been fixed. You can now select Needs Grading and will get the list of things that are waiting to be graded. However, there is an exception to this. Anything that may, for some reason, not have a category set in the grading column will not show up in the "Needs Grading" list.
Please note that any column in the grade center that has the category set to "No Category" will not show up in the "Needs Grading" list and will also give you an error if you go into the Full Grade Center and select "View Attempt".
The only way a column would be set to "No Category" is if you manually created the column and did not select a category or if you manually went into the column and changed it to "No Category".
When the columns are automatically created with Assignments, Tests, etc. the category is automatically set correctly - it is only if you manually change the category to "No Category" that there is a problem.

Bb Down 5/27 for Upgrade: Resulting Changes
Bb 9.1 for Faculty
Blackboard will be unavailable on Friday, May 27th from 2:30 AM to 8:00 PM due to an upgrade to service pack 4.
What’s new with the installation of SP4?
Announcements:
New Announcements now appear directly below a repositionable bar. Priority Announcements can be moved above the bar so they always appear first in the list. Students do not see the bar. (Known Issue: If you move the repositionable bar to the bottom of the announcements, it will no longer be available. Also after doing this, the control panel may stop working. You can correct this by adding another announcement.)
Assessments:
Instructors now have the ability to view question numbers while building and editing assessments. Questions can be referenced by number throughout the assessment and can be used to sequence questions in an assessment. Also, feedback for each answer is now available for Multiple Answer questions.
