Creating Groups in Blackboard

First determine where you want students to access the , content area. You can create a link from the

left navigation, or you can place the link to the group (s) on an existing page, like Weekly Assignments →

Week 3.

Assigning Students to a Group: Manually, or Randomly

Determine if you want to assign students to a group OR do you want Blackboard to randomly select students

for each group. In addition, determine the number of groups. Again Blackboard will do the math for you.

Creating Groups

Create formal groups of Students to collaborate on work. Groups can be created one at a time or in sets. The

Instructor can manually select Group members or allow Students to self-enroll. 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. Tools that

can be made available to a Group include the following:

●

Blogs: Users within the Group can post to the Blog and add comments.

●

Collaboration: Users within the Group can create and attend Chat sessions and Virtual Classroom

sessions.

●

Discussion Board: Users within the Group can create and manage their own Forums.

●

Email: Users within the Group can email individual members or the entire Group.

●

File Exchange: Users within the Group and the Instructor can upload files to the Group space and

organize them through the creation of folders.

●

Journals: Users within the Group can be assigned a private Journal that allows private communication

between the Instructor and the User.

●

Tasks: Users within the Group can create Tasks that are distributed to all Group members.

Groups are created from the Groups page accessed from the Control Panel under Users and Groups. There are

two Create options available:

●

Create a Single Group.

●

Create a Group Set.
