Blackboard introduced the ability to batch edit Assessments in courses in a recent upgrade; however, there were still concerns regarding editing dates and availability for individual items within the batch editing area. Instructors now have the option to change the due date and availability (Show On and Hide After) for any item on the Batch Edit screen.
For complete details on the Batch Edit feature, check out the Bb Ultra Instructor Guide.
