Instructors can build study or project groups from the Manage Groups page. Once a Group is created Instructors can also add, remove, and modify groups of users within a course. The Instructor has the option of giving the Group Discussion Board functions, Virtual Classroom functions, group file exchange functions, and group email functions.
In most areas of the Blackboard Learning System, the Add and Modify pages function similarly. However adding a Group is different from modifying a group. This section discusses what happens when the Instructor clicks Modify on the Manage Groups page.
Follow the steps below to open the Manage Group page.
Step 1 Click Manage Groups in the User Management area of the Course Control Panel.
Step 2 Click Modify next to a Group.
