Group assignments are a crucial component of collaborative learning in Blackboard. Group assignments enable students to work together on projects and submit their collective efforts for evaluation. Effective management and grading of these group submissions are vital for accurately assessing group performance and providing meaningful feedback. Previously, we introduced CRUD operations for managing group assignment attempts. Now we have provided enhanced capability of the Group attempts endpoints to include comprehensive grading functionalities.

  • Score. The numeric grade assigned to a group’s submission.
  • Notes. Additional notes that an instructor can include regarding the group’s performance or submission details.
  • Feedback. Detailed feedback provided to the group, helping students understand their performance and areas for improvement.

This update ensures that instructors can efficiently grade group submissions directly through the public API, enhancing the overall workflow for managing group assessments in Blackboard.

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