General Use Case:
Multiple course sections may be merged into one Blackboard course shell. Without splitting the shell, reviewing the Ultra gradebook can be a bit cumbersome. This FAQ explains how instructors can use both the Group Management Tool and Gradebook Filters to better sort through their gradebook.
