Hi Sian,
I tested BB 8 today from a student view on our test server and there is no option I could see for receiving an email.
It would have been a great feature, since we do not have the option to remove that ever so naughty 'Save' button.

Subject: Assignment submission confirmation email
Hello all,
I have a vague recollection of hearing that in Blackboard version 8 (or was it version 9) there was a new feature that sent an email confirmation to a student once they had submitted an assignment . One of our common complaints from students is that they don't get a confirmation email when submitting an assignment and we get lots of support calls asking us to check. I know they get an Assignment receipt page after submitting and there are a couple of things they can check i.e. trying to re-submit or going into the My Grades page but they don't seem to be totally reassured by these methods and want an email. Was I just imagining things or has someone heard about this new email confirmation feature?
Thanks in advance
Sian
