Group management in Blackboard is essential for collaborative learning and efficient course administration. With the latest enhancements, users can now manage group assignment attempts with new API capabilities. These updates allow users to create, read, update, and delete group submissions. Users will find these new capabilities through the following endpoints in the Course Grade API:

  • For GET and POST
    • .../courses/{courseId}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/groupAttempts
  • For PATCH and DELETE
    • .../courses/{courseId}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/groupAttempts/{groupAttemptId}

This enhancement offers streamlined integration, which simplifies the management of group assignments through improved API functionalities. This makes it easier to integrate and automate processes within their systems.

For administrators: The required privileges for Group attempts endpoints can be validated for each endpoint in the API documentation.
