Record Feedback Comments

Instructors can include audio/video recordings up to five minutes long with their feedback for graded assignments. Feedback can be recorded directly through Blackboard. Recorded comments are not currently supported when grading with a rubric or with certain browsers (Firefox and Chrome are recommended).

1. Enter the grading screen for the assignment via the Needs Grading screen or the Full Grade Center.
2. In the Grading Panel, click the small bar below the Attempt box to open the Feedback to Learner section.
   
   
3. Click the text icon (A) below the Feedback To Learner text box to open the full text editor.
   
   
4. Click the microphone icon in the full text editor to open the Video Recording window. You may need to click the Show More button () in the upper right to view the microphone icon.
   
   
5. Click the Allow button in the Video Recording window to allow Blackboard to access your microphone and/or camera for the recording. This pop-up window may appear differently depending on your browser.

7. When you are ready to record, click the red circle icon at the bottom of the screen. This will start a short countdown. Begin recording your comment once the countdown completes.
