This article is for instructors looking to create **Forms **in their Blackboard Ultra course. **Forms **can be utilized to gather input and feedback from students.
# **Overview**
- The Form tool is similar to the **Survey **tool in Blackboard Original courses.
- In Ultra, instructors can choose to make the Forms submissions anonymous or not.
- A Form will also have a corresponding Gradebook column which, by default, is ungraded (no point value) and set as **Complete/Incomplete **grade display.
- In Form settings, it can be made into a gradable item by clicking the checkbox for **Grade form**.
