Batch creating groups requires a CSV template, which you download from Blackboard.  

  1. Open the CSV. Be sure to leave the headers in place.
  2. The Group Code and Title must be unique for each group.
  3. The Group Set must be the SAME for all groups.
  4. Description is optional.

  5. If you enter Y for self-enroll, then students can add themselves to the group. If you enter N, then you must assign students to the groups.

  6. After you open this CSV file in Excel, please be sure to save it as CSV.
