Groups (Ultra Student)

What are Groups?

The Group tool allows you to collaborate with fellow group members on tasks, projects and assignments. Groups can be assigned tools such as emails, discussion boards, journals, file exchange areas and task lists. Your Course Coordinator may set up groups to facilitate the submission of group assignments using the Blackboard assignment tool (not Turnitin).

There are two ways you can be allocated to a group:

You can sign up to groups created by your Course Coordinator.
Your Course Coordinator can create a group and allocate you to it.
