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.
These steps have other applications including for group projects, discussion sections, teams, etc.
