This session is specifically designed for Administrators and will focus on the Groups tool within Blackboard. It will cover instructions and hands on experience to provide the skills necessary to prepare Administrators for their role in the process of e-Submission Feedback and Grading (eSFG) within the EMA project.

By the end of the session you will be able to:
• set up and manage groups in a Blackboard course
• set up group assignments in Blackboard
• experience how group marks and feedback are managed in the Grade Centre
• understand what other Blackboard assignment features can be used in association with groups.

Prerequisite: It is an advantage to have attended the Blackboard Assignment Tool session before attending Blackboard Groups

TEL EMA: Blackboard Groups is part of the e-Assessment suite of sessions. Other sessions in this suite include Turnitin Assignment Tool, Blackboard Assignment Tool and BB Grade Centre. This is complemented by a suite of online tutorials in Blackboard which, taken together, equips staff with the knowledge needed to start using Blackboard effectively in line with the EMA University wide roll out.

This session aligns with A4, K4, of the UKPSF.
