Groups usually consist of a small number of students for study groups or projects. These groups have their own collaboration areas in the course so that they can communicate and share files. Your instructor places you in a group or allows you to select the group you want to join.
To access the group area, click on the link on the Course Menu. Your instructor may also include a link to the group tool inside your course's content areas (i.e. Learning Modules, Content Folders, etc.). Once you are a member of one or more Groups, they will appear in a panel called My Groups under the Course Menu.
Group Set – This option allows you to automatically create multiple group areas at a time. i. Random Enroll – Blackboard will randomly assign students to groups based on criteria the faculty member selects. ii. Self-‐Enroll – Students will be able to enroll themselves in the groups they choose.
