GT Briefing May 2014: The new generation of learners presentationTracey Keys
Education is a basic need. Economic and social development depends on it; the ability for individuals to reach their full potential depends on it; business success depends on it.
Disruptive forces are already changing the landscape of education as traditional face-to-face learning moves towards virtual and interactive learning, However, educational institutions – whether primary, secondary or tertiary – need to step out of their comfort zones to reflect an increasingly complex world. Constantly developing technology, the mindsets of the new digital natives and future skills challenges demand radical shifts both in educational content and delivery.
So what will it take to reshape the education “industry” and prepare our educational systems and institutions for the future – in fact, who should the educators be?

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

I’ll wrap up with a pause on our full portfolio, and borrow an analogy from the recording industry to do so. We’ve completely remastered our hits, and reenvisioned them for the next decade rather than the last. Community: from a view of community that was about school portal, and is now about social learningContent: from file mgmt to sharable learning objects and tools for curationOutcomes: we moved a substantial element – enterprise survey and made it free in CD. Greatly improved capabilities of student evidence management required in the 10 yraccred cycle.We’ve added tracks that we needed for mobile, collaboration, and analytics. And as you’ve seen, we’re deepening and improving the integrations between them and investing heavily in improving their experience.Motion to iPhoneValue: Now with so much additional innovation and value, we hope that more of you will want to “complete your album”. But we know that requires more than just improved products – it requires compelling economics. Those are questions to be pursued individually, but I’ll set your expectations that we’re bringing the same new thinking and creativity to that part of our relationship as we have to our product portfolio. As always, see your account managers for details. Finally: We’re really trying to creating a concept album—a more coherent product ladder for your future, technically well integrated products that are easier to support, and ultimately a whole who’s value is more than simply the sum of the pieces. Thank you for listening. I’m now pleased to introduce Katie Blot, President of Bb Services, who will assist me in developing the themes of innovation and value today. THIS IS YOUR LAST SLIDE
To start with Learn, here are a number of new innovations we’d like to show you.I’m just giving you a teaser, Deborah Everhart is going to show you the full picture tomorrow morning during the Blackboard Learn Roadmap session.SHOW: Calendar, Inline Assignment Grading, Social Learning Tools, Discussion Boards, Item Analysis, Enterprise surveys
One of the trends we’ve seen in recent years is the prevalence of very large courses and something asked for by you in Australia as well. I’m thinking of courses with 5- 6- or 700 students enrolled, or more. This is now in development.
The Inline Assignment Grading feature, which we introduced a few months back, greatly improves the ease of grading submitted documents. It has gotten great reviews from Instructors, but one of the things you told us really quickly was that there wasn’t enough screen real estate to effectively view and annotate the documents inline . . .
Now, to this point of helping faculty identify students with at-risk behavior, we’ve recently shipped the Retention Center. It’s a grass-roots compliment to institutional focus on retention. It continuously reviews student behavior and provides a prioritized list about which students appear to be most at-risk of performing well. In this example 48 students are at risk, and a breakdown of where that risk is to help guide our actions.We’re taking this tool a step further, moving beyond a watch list to a more comprehensive tool. It will allow you to investigate behaviors throughout your course – and apply common remedies to patterns of student behavior – and thus realizing further efficiencies in faculty time.
Our current anonymous grading tool allows the grader to switch back and forth between anonymous and identified modes. We’re updating this feature by offering an option that forces anonymous grading for all attempts and prevents the grader from switching back and forth between anonymous and identified mode.Join the Blackboard Learn Roadmap session tomorrow where Deborah Everhart will show you all the great new innovations that are now available in Blackboard Learn and those that are in development.Along with that we’re adding support for multiple graders for any given item. The new “multiple graders” tool will allow TA’s to review, comment and potentially score student submissions with an option of having their scores go directly to the grade center or to be forwarded to the instructor for final review and grade assignment.
Earlier I noted how the importance of student interaction Earlier I noted how the importance of student interaction drove us to prompt faculty awareness of this element in their course designs.I’m pleased to introduce a new menu option for interaction within Learn – Bb Meeting Room. Meeting Room represents a first step in adding live collaboration to online learning. Now any course can add a virtual room for live interaction with an interactive whiteboard to display content and group chat where basic collaboration can take place. And of course this feature is both experientially visually and technically aligned with our fully featured synchronous experience, Bb Collaborate web conferencing.
Collaborate is our flagship product for live collaboration, and it’s enjoying rapid adoption at all levels as demand for live interaction rises. Beyond the whiteboard and chat of meeting room it adds the power of voice conferencing, application sharing, session recording and, and support for use on mobile devices.But you critiqued our integration. You told us is wasn’t as straightforward as it could be, and so harder to realize it’s full value on your campuses. Our product has studied this problem carefully, and we’re delivering a series of improvements: -Every course now has a dedicated “course room” that lasts as long as the course lasts, so that it’s always just a click away. -Every instructor now has a dedicated “personal room” for office hours, and to make instant ad-hoc collaboration is easy to do. Sidebar AppearsThere’s one other important value that we provide with this product – built in voice conferencing, at a quality and reliability that allows you to forego other investments in teleconferencing services. We’re auto-generating conference codes and user pins when you schedule sessions to help you realize this high added value on your campus.
Last year we introduced Blackboard Analytics for Blackboard Learn. For the first time students can instantly see how their activity compares to peers. And educators can benchmark student performance in their course to other sections offered at the same time, or in prior years. This product produces deeper insights into user progress – or lack thereof – more quickly and efficiently than could possibly be done without it. The measurements of student success can be tracked to make data-driven decisions.LMS Requirement: Bb Learn 9.1 SP4 and higher
But some of the big problems in education extend beyond even the institution ……One such problem is learning content, and where we’ll source all that’s needed in a future that’s more demanding of content. It must be: Highly engaging for today’s learners, Accessible for the disabled, Developed to deliver comparative analytics from usage data Because this is so hard to do, it’s more likely that educators will collaborate on the task. And because it’s more valuable when done well, there will be new demands on sharing. CLICK to INSET CURATION: Xplor is our attempt to support these new requirements. It’s required new thinking – like sharing more than just the content, but also the tools to curate it.ClICK to INSET CC: and we must share responsibly. We’ve integrated the open industry standard Creative Commons directly into our workflow, with controls that allow our clients to independently tune copyright policy to for their needs.
Biggest headline grabber in the past year in the area of online has been MOOCs. Since their real start in the Fall 2011, MOOCs have been the subject of more than 100 articles and blog posts And you still can’t open a daily summary from any education source and not see 2 to 3 articles about MOOCs
And I’m excited to announce that we will be providing, free of charge to Blackboard customers, a MOOC platform to support all of these purposes – and others as they emerge. Because enabling open access to education and providing for experimentation for the future is important. And supporting you in your goals to extend your brand is what a partner should do.
Now what will you get from a Blackboard MOOC Platform?A Platform you know – one your faculty is already familiar with so that you can build your MOOCs efficiently. And one from which successful experiments can be easily converted to your core learning platform.You are going to get the best of current & next gen learning and teaching tools – the results of all of the acceleration, integration and innovation you just heard Ray talk aboutYou will get the ability to easily bridge your MOOC and enterprise platform in key areas such as content & social.And you will get a fully supported platform, ready to scale as you do40 million usersAnd for those of you that are looking for even more, we have marketing and branding services that can help you further customize and expand your MOOC offering and even student services to help you drive enrollments and support student successNo matter what you goals are with MOOCs, we feel certain we can provide the technology, support and services that you needRay highlighted/ focused on providing value… For those of you interested in MOOCs – for whatever the purpose - we want to make sure you have a no-cost platform to do so.
We are proud to have 15 new schools who recently announced they will be using Blackboard to host their open learning experiencesCLICK TO REVEAL ALL LOGOS
