Assessment Table & Overview Generator
Assessment Table & Overview Generator for Blackboard Ultra. Built with HTML/CSS. WCAG-aware.
Overview
The Assessment Table & Overview Generator standardised how assessment information is presented across Blackboard Ultra courses. Staff often created inconsistent tables that confused students. The challenge was to create a tool that streamlined the process and aligned with institutional templates.
Process
- Developed the generator in HTML and CSS with simple copy/paste functionality.
- Coded custom styles to match UNDA’s brand and improve readability.
- Tested with academic staff, refining the workflow so assessment details could be entered quickly and consistently.
- Ensured tables were mobile responsive and accessible by screen readers.
Outcome
The generator improved clarity and reduced inconsistency in assessment communication across units. Students benefited from consistent layouts, while staff saved time building assessment pages. The tool is now used across multiple faculties as part of the Blackboard Ultra rollout.
