Some assignments may require you to work and submit a project to be graded as a group. Your instructor may also use groups for grading discussions. Here are some basics for using groups in eCampus Ultra.

Blackboard Anthology Help: Groups

  1. Click the Groups tab at the top of the course.

  2. Click the drop-down arrow to expand the Group Set your group is in.

Participating in Discussions with a Group

Groups in discussions might be used to provide a space to work on projects, or just to encourage everyone to feel free to speak up. Group discussions can be graded, or ungraded.

Viewing Your Grade

After the assignment or discussion has been graded, you will see your grade (for your portion of the assignment, or if everyone got the same group grade) on the Grades page of the course, just like any other assignment. I think.
