Groups can also help you control access to content items and make lots of admin tasks so much quicker too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we have picked out the top 5 reasons why you will find Groups a useful tool&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1<\/strong>. <strong>Student Collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Groups allow students to collaborate using various features and tools within Blackboard, such as discussion boards, journals and Blackboard Collaborate.&nbsp; Think of a group as a room which you populate with various tools and only the members of that group have access to these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, simply create your groups and choose which tools you would like them to access.\u00a0 For example, you might want different groups of students to work together on different topics in their own Discussion Board.  Only the members of the group and the instructor can view the content so it&#8217;s safe and private for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Learn\/Instructor\/Original\/Interact\/Course_Groups\/Create_Groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blackboard &#8211; Group Creation<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Learn\/Instructor\/Original\/Interact\/Course_Groups\/Create_Groups\/Best_Practice_Group_Membership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blackboard &#8211; Group Membership<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Learn\/Instructor\/Original\/Interact\/Course_Groups\/Manage_Groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blackboard &#8211; Manage Groups<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pro.ispringcloud.eu\/acc\/L5VX_9I3NzE\/s\/771-hY81y-X41tr-C6DX7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Video Guides for Creating Groups<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000\" class=\"stk-highlight\">2. <strong>Using groups with Blackboard Collaborate for Break Out Rooms<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now use Groups created in your course or module to auto-create groups for breakout rooms in Collaborate, which will save you time when in the flow of teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can stay in their same groups without any extra work for the tutor or facilitator however there is also flexibility for the tutor to adjust groups as needed during the session without altering the groups in Blackboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/Collaborate\/Ultra\/Moderator\/Moderate_Sessions\/Breakout_groups#start\">start a breakout group<\/a> (Open the Share panel and select Breakout Groups), go to the&nbsp;Assign Groups&nbsp;menu and select&nbsp;<strong>Course Group Set.<\/strong> Choose the set of groups you want to use and start the breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #373737\" class=\"stk-highlight\">N.B. You can only use group sets (not standalone groups).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Using with Tests &amp; Adaptive Release for Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tests are often time and date limited.\u00a0 Groups are an easy way to give certain students a different set of constraints to the rest of the class.  For example if a number of students have special dispensation for an extra 25% time, putting these students into a group saves you having to manually enter them one-by-one every time you create a Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, once you have created your group &amp; created and deployed your Test, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Find the Test and use the chevron to open the Context menu.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>Select Edit the Test Options.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>On the Test Options page, scroll down to the area labelled Test Availability Exemptions and click Add User or Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><em>On the Add User or Group page put a checkmark next the group you want to apply and click submit in the bottom right hand corner.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use Groups with Adaptive Release to control how content is released to Students.\u00a0 Simply click on the grey chevron next to an item title and select Adaptive Release (<em><span style=\"color: #373737\" class=\"stk-highlight\">or Adaptive Release Advanced<\/span><\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Adaptive Release, scroll down to Membership and select the groups you want to view the content.  Once a Membership criterion is created only those specified will be ale to view the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/learningedge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2022\/02\/Membership.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"243\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/learningedge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2022\/02\/Membership.png\" alt=\"By accessing the Adaptive Release menu for some content, you can select groups under Membership.\" class=\"wp-image-10287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/learningedge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2022\/02\/Membership.png 602w, https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/learningedge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2022\/02\/Membership-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/learningedge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2022\/02\/Membership-500x202.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Membership Options within Adaptive Release<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Self-Signup for picking a topic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be running several sessions and want students to pick a topic or session time to attend.\u00a0 You can manage this by creating self-signup groups where students add <em>themselves <\/em>to a group rather than being allocated.  This might be a group set or single groups depending on the situation.\u00a0 Students get to make their own choice and you can limit the maximum number of students selecting each group.
