Many thanks for this Richard; your Batch Allocate Groups Building Block has been very useful for us in the past. I'm sure lots of other institutions will also appreciate this update - thanks for sharing this with us.
And yes, Blackboard released their Groups Management Building Block yesterday (along with an updated version of the retention centre); here's a link to the article on BtB:

As always it can be directly downloaded from here or obtained from the Software Updates module on the Admin tab. I'm now installing it on our test system...
Regards
Chris

Subject: Batch allocate groups building block
There have been a few inquiries in the past on the list regarding the batch allocate groups building block which was developed at York.
It has now been updated to work with versions of Blackboard up to SP12, and it is now available on the Oscelot website.
I believe that Blackboard have developed their own version of this tool and rolled this in to their SP13 release, for those who are upgrading to SP13.
