The Good, the Bad and the Out There: Beyond and Back to Blackboard in the Business School - Stephen King, eLearning Manager; Sam Bizri, Senior Educational Designer, University of Sydney Business School | ANZTLC15
2013 Blackboard Catalyst award winners for Innovation, Stephen (Steve) King and Houssam (Sam) Bizri, first introduce the enterprise-wide Blackboard Learn environment and practices developed at the University of Sydney Business School. They move on to discuss how the constraints of infrastructure and policy can curb educational technology innovation and experimentation, in contradistinction to the hype in Higher Education circles surrounding the new trends, needs and opportunities for online learning. Finally, looking at the perennial learning and teaching challenge of getting busy research focussed academics to use more Blackboard tools in their teaching, Sam and Steve will outline their disruptive approach: forget the tools entirely and go beyond the LMS to other obvious and not-so-obvious technologies, loading their creations back in to Blackboard for flipped outcomes. They outline the new challenges these pose for Educational Technology teams and the opportunities these present for educators and students. Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

Editor's Notes
- STEVE: Where are we heading Are we moving beyond Bb – maybe? Sandra & Bb Senior Academic in Education – Bb “limited blended learning capability” How we go – dependent upon the new Bb Experiential learning, learning by doing, design thinking problem based learning – beyond a few flipped resources, no great emphasis on the LMS space

- Bigger sites might have 1500 students 2 – 300 Academic instructors per semester A LOT of tutors eLearning team of 3 – just in time support, projects, workshops, PUSH - more transformational less transactional etc Currently we are on own license HISTORY/ACCEPTED BETTER & MORE STABLE – own IT (recent restructure moved to IT – my own hope - transactional) Our own license days are numbered – CENTRALISATION – mixed feelings Big issue here “Whole of University/Student experience” vs. agility, stability, and capabilities we have Would we have won Catalyst Award? On the criteria – NO. WPs, POC and PIDs
