Multiple choice questions with blank/empty answers won’t submit

Problem: Creating a multiple choice question in the test/survey tool, leaving at least one answer empty, then clicking on the submit button will not save or submit the form.  The submit button fails silently and the form is not submitted.

Solution: Clicking the “remove” button next to any blank/unused answers will allow the form to submit normally.  There is no targeted release for this issue at this time.

Downloading/Viewing attempt in Grade Center produces an error

Problem: When going into the grade center and viewing or downloading an assignment attempt, users see an error message similar to “No default constructor found.”  We’ve seen this occurring when attempting to access group attempts as well as individual submissions.  Blackboard has identified this as a bug, and we are currently working to clarify patch availability.

Solution: Please contact blackboard@uvm.edu as soon as possible if you see this error.  In the meantime, the workaround for this issue is to click the chevron next to the Column Title and download all assignment attempts.
