Managing Groups
Manage Groups
New in 7.3 - A Forum is automatically created in the Group Discussion Board area!
The Manage Groups tool allows instructors to build study or project groups and create an individual student group that can be used as a journaling tool. The Group area is private and provides access to the discussion board, virtual classroom, file exchange and group email function for the group members and the instructor only. Removing a Group from the Blackboard Learning System removes the group and all information associated with that group. The action is irreversible.
Once a Group is created an instructor can add, remove or modify groups of users.
It may be helpful for students if instructors placed the team member names in the Add Group > Description section so that students names appear in the title of the group.
Creating groups is a two step process.
Step 1: Instructors create the group.
Step 2: Instructors add members to the group.
