Warning: There is a known issue where Instructors, Teaching Assistants and Graders will not be able to check graded files via the links created in the comments or Feedback to Learner section once they have been uploaded back into the Grade Centre. This does not affect the student accessing the file for feedback when the Grade Centre column is made available to students.

Note: This tool will not be available from January 2024. This UQ developed tool is based on Blackboard Building Block technology that will decommissioned by the vendor in December 2023. Please email projects@elearning.uq.edu.au if you have any queries.
