The up-to-the-minute activity stream captures all the action in your courses.
You can see what's new in all your courses and jump directly into course activities from the list! You don't need to dig through the system or miss submissions from students. You see a prioritized list of what's relevant to you.
Follow student discussions as they happen, including the latest submissions.
Take note of how many submissions are ready to grade. You can also access new submissions from the stream. You can view an example in the assignments topic.
Receive reminders about personal events and meetings.
Enjoy a bird's eye view of course activity and direct access to course items.
Filter your view. Use the Filter menu and choose Show All, Assignments and Tests or Grades and Feedback.
We've combined many notification features to help you find the targeted information you need. Over time, our system will get even smarter and help you understand which items are most time-sensitive or critical.
Video: Activity Stream shows how to access the activity stream and which items appear.
Important: Students see overdue assignments, tests, and graded discussions that need their immediate attention. The number of items in this section makes up the count shown by Activity Stream in the list where your name appears. If you dismiss an item in this section, you won't be able to view it again even if you sign out and sign in again. When you dismiss a stream item, the original content isn't affected. You just remove the notification from the activity stream.
Upcoming: View your top five events that will happen in the next seven days. Select Show More for a complete list. This section doesn't appear if you don't have upcoming events.
Today: See everything happening and due in the next 24 hours, including institution-wide announcements about emergency notifications and updates. If you added course announcements, they appear here or in the Recent section for students.
Recent: If you haven't checked in for a bit, view stream items that were previously in the Today section over the last seven days. Students always see reminders about overdue work in the Important section.
Push notifications: If you want to receive push notifications, choose how often and which activities you want to receive notifications for. Messages pop up on your mobile device if you have Blackboard Instructor installed.
The activity stream shows you what's happening in your courses, whether the course uses the Original or Ultra Course View.
