We too are experiencing a similar scenario with gradebook but also some
other rather strange behaviours with it too.
We have also seen that test submissions have been returned with a "requires
grading" exclamation mark. This test too has some fill in the blank
question types. However one student got one of the fill in the blanks wrong
and Blackboard still graded the test automatically.
Have Blackboard commented yet on this scenario??
We are also experiencing some other strange grading problems. Another test
has had a number of questions graded incorrectly, the marks next to each
answer (ticks) are correct but the grade is calculated, shown and stored
incorrectly. For example one question was an ordering question with 8
answers and 8 points to be awarded (one for each correct sequence). A
student got all the answers in the correct order but only received 3 out of
8 points?????
We are running on 6 basic with the latest version & hotfix: 6.0.11.72-hf1
build 1.
After our system totally stalled on us one night this week we are told that
some bugs have been found in hotfix 1 and Blackboard are working on this at
present to release a hotfix to fix the last hotfix. Has anyone else been
informed of this? Could this also be related to the problems with gradebook
and tests? Answers on a postcard please.....
