Session Timeout
WARNING: Blackboard sessions timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity. Web Browsers DO NOT register typing as activity. If you're typing an assignment, assessment, or discussion submission for longer than 30 minutes, the session may timeout when the submit button is pressed. This means that you may lose your work.

TIP: To prevent lost work, create your content in a word processor,
         and then copy & paste the content into Blackboard.

  • Click Save All when you are finished
  • Click Finish to submit your assessment

Assessment

 

  • If you experience a session timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity or if you experience a Web browser or computer crash during an assessment, all previously saved answers should still be there when you begin the assessment again. When you log back into the Blackboard assessment, click the Continue button to finish the assessment.

    NOTE: Time remaining for an assessment counts down in "real-time" and decreases even when you are not logged into Blackboard.
