How do I create student groups on Blackboard?

There are several groups options available in Blackboard:

Advanced Group Management - The Advanced Group Management feature provides a streamlined method to manage groups of students in your courses. As an alternative to Blackboard's "Manage Groups" function, Advanced Group Management is an all-in-one location where you can create/remove groups, add/remove group members, and configure group functions such as a Group Discussion Board, Group Email and File Exchange. For more information, click here.

Manage Groups - The Manage Groups feature allows instructors to create Groups within courses. Instructors can also add, remove, and modify groups from this page. For more information, click here.

Teams LX (Wiki) - With Teams LX, instructors can organize students into groups and assign each group to jointly author a dynamic web site with multi-media content. And when the Wiki site is done, instructors can view each group member's contributions and grade them accordingly. For more information, click here.
