Groups in Blackboard

Your course may have you join groups via posting in discussion boards, or by joining a group using the Groups tool. If in doubt, reach out to your instructor for clarification.

Join a Group

1. Click the Groups link on the course menu.
2. Click View Sign-up Sheet to join a group
3. Read the Sign-up Sheet Instructions at the top of the page then decide which group to sign up for.
4. Click Sign-up, directly under the group you wish to join.
5. You have now completed the sign-up process.
6. To double check your group selection, click on the Groups link.

Submit a Group Assignment

1. One member from each group will submit on behalf of the entire group.
2. Once a member submits, the other members will not be able to submit.
3. The instructor will provide feedback to the entire group via the single group submission.
4. Access your grades and feedback as normal, using the Grades tool in your course menu.
