Editor's Notes
- A Blackboard organization is similar to a Blackboard course and shares the same layout, tools, and features. Like a Blackboard course, an organization allows authorized participants who have AUT Blackboard accounts to access documents and collaborate with other organization participants in a secure-access environment. Unlike a Blackboard course, at AUT we use them slightly differently. Courses are set up according to the structure in the Student Management System. Organisations are requested by Faculties or Schools and are set up manually by our Blackboard Support team. Organisations include enrolments from courses that could be across schools and faculties. Courses are mainly used for specific course delivery whereas organisations are usually set up to serve specific purposes – we will cover examples later Courses are created for each semester each year – organisations are ongoing and require organisation leaders to inform Bb support about current student and staff enrolments. (However, this sometimes doesn’t happen!)
- Organizations provide a collection of web-based tools, making it easy for group members to participate in on-line activities: Announcements Document sharing (papers, agendas, minutes, reports, course descriptors etc.) – The Content Management System is widely used Blackboard Collaborate Image, movie and audio file sharing Planning and administration (announcements, calendar) Communication (mailing lists, discussion boards, real-time chat and white board) Groups (communications and document sharing between members) On-line Surveys Links to other on-line resources (web pages, databases)
- Common tools that faculties at AUT are using are Announcements Document sharing CMS Email function Grade Centre Discussion Boards BB Collaborate Course descriptors Home built tools and generic tools e.g. to create extensions for students assignments
- Emailing documentation Extensions for students assignments – building block created for this
- Immunisation records are set up for school admin staff to record students immunisation results via GRADECENTRE
