It all depends on your own local college that you are attending. I've taken online courses for the last five semesters through my local community college and each instructor is a bit different with how they set up their blackboard classes so you can't just say they do it "this way" and that's how they all do it because it isn't that easy (unfortunately).
For instance: this semester I am taking 3 classes that are very different. I have 1 class that the instructor lets us do the chapter assignments on our own but we do not submit them and we will only be graded for tests when she posts them every few weeks, very simple.
In another class I post assignments on a discussion board so other classmates can respond to me and I do the same with them, then I do the tests every two weeks and I'm graded for all of it.
Then in another course I am to complete assignments in word and then submit all assignments through a drop box that goes directly to my instructor and also participate in a discussion board with my classmates and then she will post tests every couple of weeks for me to do. and in this class I am allowed to do it all whenever I want so if I chose to finish the whole semester in two weeks I can do that. She has every bit of it posted for us to do that, which of course I will not do, but it's available to those that want to do it that way.
So each of my online classes are very different this semester.
