In this tutorial, I will show you how to create
a Manual-Enroll Group Set in Blackboard.
A Manual-Enroll Group allows you to manually place students in groups.
First, in the control panel on the left-hand side of your screen,
select “Users and Groups,” then “Groups.”
On the “Groups” page, hover over the “Create Group Set” button
and select “Manual Enroll” from the drop-down menu.
On the “Create Group Set” page, set a name for the group set.
Each group will be numbered. For example,
if you set the name as “Final Presentation,” the groups will be:
“Final Presentation 1,” “Final Presentation 2,” and so on.
You also have the option to make groups available immediately,
or, if you select “No,” to save it for later release.
The “Tool Availability” options allow you to make certain features,
such as blogs, wikis, and journals available to group users.
You also have the option of making some features gradable.
Next, set the number of groups that you would like to create.
Once you have finished, click “Submit.”
The next page allows you to choose which students will be in each group.
You can allow Blackboard to automatically name the groups
or you can rename them yourself.
To place students in groups, select the student’s name
and click the top arrow.
To reverse this action, select the student’s name again
and click the bottom arrow.
You also have the option to select all students.
Once you have placed all of the students in groups,
click the Submit button.
