Using Blackboard Groups &amp; Grade Centre Smart Views Sort students into groups for making: Blackboard: Creating multiple self-enrol groups for your course Blackboard: Creating multiple manual enrol groups for your course Blackboard: Creating random enrol groups for your course Label the Groups clearly so markers know which group belongs to them The Groups don&#8217;t need to be made available to students if they&#8217;re only going to be used behind the scenes by markers The groups do need to be made available if the students need to submit group work Make sure to select the Create Smart View option when setting this up Favourite these Smart Views for easy access from the Course menu: Access the Grade Centre via the Course menu Control Panel Go to Manage &gt; Smart views Click the &#8220;Add to Favourites&#8221; button in the table You&#8217;ll see the Group&#8217;s Smart View listed in the Grade Centre section of the Course menu Control Panel Markers can now also access these Smart Views from the menu to mark the work allocated to them.","og_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/10\/04\/blackboard-assignment-handling-multiple-markers\/","og_site_name":"Blackboard Help for Staff - University of Reading","article_published_time":"2018-10-04T13:12:14+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2018\/10\/gs1-e1538657585719.png"}],"author":"Sev Raychev","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@UniRdg_TEL","twitter_site":"@UniRdg_TEL","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sev Raychev","Estimated reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/10\/04\/blackboard-assignment-handling-multiple-markers\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/10\/04\/blackboard-assignment-handling-multiple-markers\/"},"author":{"name":"Sev Raychev","@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/#\/schema\/person\/640d7afe549491adc1dee885a5869d46"},"headline":"Blackboard Assignment: Handling multiple markers","datePublished":"2018-10-04T13:12:14+00:00","dateModified":"2018-10-04T13:12:14+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/10\/04\/blackboard-assignment-handling-multiple-markers\/"},"wordCount":284,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Assessment &amp;
