Manage Groups

What is the Manage Groups?
The Manage Groups feature allows instructors to create Groups within courses. This gives members access to a private group Discussion Board, Virtual Classroom, File Exchange, and Email. Instructors or administrators can create Groups and distribute Users into Groups for a particular course on the Blackboard system. Additionally instructors can give members of a Group access to Group Tools. Modifications of group functions as well as group membership are made from this page.

Once I add a student into a group, can I move him/her into another?
No, you can not move the student. You would need to Remove the student and then Add him/her back into the correct group.
Note: Do not remove the student if they have participated in any of the tools (discussion, chat, or file exchange). All information connected to that student will be lost.
