Faculty - Create a Group Set in Blackboard
You have the ability to create Groups in Blackboard where you can create a Single Group or a Group Set. Additionally, you can manually or randomly assign students to a group or you can have students self-enroll. The Groups feature in Blackboard allows you to give students access to a number of different tools in Blackboard in one space. Below are directions for creating Groups in Blackboard. Each Group has its own space, or homepage, with links to tools to help Students collaborate. The Instructor can allow individual Group members to personalize their Group space with personal modules such as My Calendar and What’s New. The Instructor can equip the space with an assortment of tools to assist students as they collaborate. Only the Instructor and the Group members can access the Group tools.
