Students that added late to a class will not automatically be placed into Blackboard groups that were created before the student was enrolled. This is true no matter how the group was set up; if the instructor set Blackboard to randomly assign students to groups, the membership is set once the groups are created -- students subsequently coming in to the course will not be automatically put into groups.
Fortunately, Blackboard makes it easy to see who is not in a group and assign them to groups as needed.
1. Go to the Groups area of the Control Panel.
2. On the top right, switch to All Users view.
3. All students will be listed, and what group if any they belong to. Mouse over a student’s name to bring up the Add to Group function.
4. Click Add to Group and use the drop menu to select from available groups.
The student is now in the specified group.
