Convert activity-level groups to course-level groups during course restores – 3900.118

Impact: Administrators 
Updated Help Page: Restore Courses 
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable 

We simplified the process of converting groups when a course is restored. Previously, activity-level groups remained activity-level groups during a course restore. Now, activity-level groups are converted to course-level groups. This change is part of our ongoing transition to exclusively use course-level groups in Blackboard. The first stage of this process is course restoration and import. 

This update provides more consistency for instructors and streamlines the course restoration process for administrators. 

Key Features: 

  • Content Associations: Groups keep their associations with content items.
  • Enrollment and Membership: Enrollment and membership details are retained. 

Administrators 

Availability: Available for all Ultra courses.

Configuration: None needed.
