Better Blackboard Help: Where your users need it, when they want it.Matthew Deeprose
It has never been more important to provide localised, central, relevant, and up to date support and messaging within our Blackboard environments. This presentation is a practical guide to how you can use freely available tools to provide contextual, just in time support sign-posting staff and students to local support resources from within Blackboard Learn (original experience).
As Blackboard administrators, learning designers, technologists, programme leads, and support staff, we often wish we could be alongside our users to say, “well in these circumstances we recommend using the feature in this way”, or “you could use that tool, but there’s a much more effective tool over there”, right when the intervention would be most relevant and timely. In current times we may also wish to highlight newly provisioned services and tools such as Blackboard Collaborate.
Blackboard allows us to customise the language pack, but have you noticed that most users will just skim past plain text and get straight into clicking and submitting? Even when a user follows a help link, they may reach a generic help page rather than the bespoke institution-specific guidance that has been carefully curated to provide the most appropriate help, contextualised for an institution's Managed Learning Environment?
In this session I will demonstrate a new approach for the Original Blackboard Learn Experience to provide proactive assistance to staff and students at the right time and in the right place. At the University of Southampton, this method resulted in significantly higher engagement with institutional support resources and has the potential to reduce support calls and encourage better Blackboard usage.
I will show you how you can recreate this approach using free and open-source software. By the end of the session you will be eager to get back to work and start implementing the techniques I will show you.

Building eLearning courses is getting easier. But how about building them within your limited budget? The good news is that it IS possible to create quality eLearning courses on a shoestring budget. It’s a matter of prioritizing your efforts, focusing the core learning objectives and deliverables, planning ahead, using toolkits, and reusing content. In this clinic, you will use a cloud-based authoring tool to build an eLearning module from scratch.
Often, our online help is organized by user interface elements, menu commands, tasks, and reference information. In this presentation, we will look at a different way of organizing the information by workflow. The finished help includes not only the classic elements, but also shows the user how they will put the software or hardware to work in the field.

If you can e-mail, or upload files then you have enough knowledge and experience to publish to the web. The lecture will focus on the easy alternatives – Blogs, Slideshare, and self-publishing printed books. The hardest part is deciding what method you are going to use!
The majority of us use the internet for searching, and exchanging information mainly by e-mail. If you have virtual presence the likelihood of others finding you increases significantly.
Please note, this lecture does not include programming, web design, or setting up a website. However, you do not need these skills to publish to the web.

A needs assessment was conducted of graduate students to determine what skills workshops and library instruction should focus on. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with 34 students. Findings showed needed skills in information seeking, management, and preferred timing and formats for instruction. A survey of 842 graduate students from various programs was then distributed to gather quantitative data. Highest rated skills included citing sources and identifying published research. Areas of lowest competence included grant writing and determining where to publish. Survey results will help guide future workshop topics and outreach efforts to better support graduate students' research needs.

Content first, then design
When in doubt, break up content-heavy slides
Look for examples of presentation slides or
posters from your field
Decide what work you want your slides or
poster to do. They don’t have to do everything
Create your own style and save as a template.
Re-use for each presentation or poster.
Always have a backup option for
presentations
