Making Adoption Eesy | Tammy Robinson (University of Newcastle) & Mieke Post ...Blackboard APAC
With the increase in blended and online course delivery there are ongoing challenges for supporting staff and students in the use of teaching technologies. This presentation will look at the University of Newcastle's implementation of a third-party building block for Blackboard which provides access to: data to measure tool adoption; tools to promote technologies within Blackboard courses; and support tools designed to improve end-user experiences. 'Eesysoft' provides simple, just-in-time reporting tools that are being used by Instructional Designers to develop targeted workshops and consultations for academic staff within Schools and Faculties where it has been identified that adoption could be improved. When new technologies are introduced, Eesysoft's communication tools are being used to promote features from within the online course environment. Staff and students now have access to resources that are specific to the location within the Blackboard course that they are accessing. It is hoped that Eesysoft will provide the necessary tools and data to influence change in the way academic staff adopt Blackboard tools for blended and online courses.
Feedback to students on their work and attainment is at the centre of successful learning in higher education. However many top rated universities find it hard to match high levels of student satisfaction with teaching and learning in general with levels of satisfaction in assessment and feedback. There are many factors which impact the quality of the feedback, and at UEA we are keen that the opportunities to enrich through digitisation are not constrained to the replication of previously paper based practices. For this reason we have initiated a project to harness all of Blackboardäó»s interactive tools to raise the quality of feedback. The overall aim of the project is to embed assessment and feedback in teaching and learning, so that feedback becomes a dialogic process and not a product in itself. This presentation is a report on our progress so far and looks at a range of interventions and their results, as we scale up to campus wide integration of Blackboard assessment and feedback tools. The evidence of impact comes from the academic community and students. We welcome interaction from fellow delegates during the presentation, as we discuss how Blackboard supports us to move forward with feedback.
Thinking it through: Choosing the right Blackboard tool for the job | Neville...Blackboard APAC
Blackboard Learn has many tools. How do you help academics to make the right choices? How do you validate that the choice you've made will be fit for purpose? In this session, we will be exploring a framework for tool choice for assessment across quizzes, assignments, journals, blogs and discussion boards in whole-class, group or individual contexts. We will also share best practices in the preparation and use of these tools.
Blackboard at Blackboard – Swinburne’s LMS migrationVDIT
Associate Professor Richard Constantine, Chief Information Officer and Director, Information Technology Services and Matthew Smith, Associate Director, IT Governance Strategy and Planning
For many years Swinburne has used separate and independent LMS’s in our TAFE and Higher Education sectors. In response to a management directive that all Student and Staff should use a single, unified LMS, Swinburne looked to Blackboard Hosting as a way to deliver this project. In addition to financial benefits, Swinburne’s use of a hosted solution delivers significant non-financial benefits. These benefits include outcomes such as resource flexibility, service level improvements and removing the distraction of managing technical issues allowing staff to remain focused on the main challenge of implementing a single LMS solution.
This presentation will outline Swinburne’s progress to date including the decision making process, key benefits and risk considerations, the experience to date and way forward as Swinburne progresses towards a single hosted LMS.

Blackboard online tests are powerful, with multiple settings and multiple question types. So often test are created with only two question types - multiple choice and short answer - with the majority testing recall only. Academics are often confused or simply unaware of all the settings and steps in administering tests. We present a tool developed to: engage academics with the full range of automatically marking question types; explain how to create higher order thinking questions; and expose them to the full workflow of online test capabilities. This tool can be used in a class or as self-directed learning. Finally we share statistics and feedback on its success and a tricky method for enticing busy academics to fully engage in a class for two hours.

We utilize SAM to ensure that our students know the material that is necessary for success on the final exam. We will discuss how we use the trainings, skills test, projects and reader in SAM to help students succeed. This course is one of our measurement courses for our Medical Office, Legal Office and Office Administration programs for our SACS and ACBSP accreditation. The goals for the session are: Discuss “Why use SAM?”; Show attendees how you can verify that students are learning material; Show how students can receive immediate feedback and know what they need to remediate; Discuss how our students use SAM to prepare for the Microsoft Office Certification Exams. Attendees will walk away with the knowledge of how to utilize SAM in their course to help their students be successful using the Microsoft Office products.
YACRS was introduced at the University of Glasgow in September 2014, initially with two first year computing science classes with a total of approximately 170 students. The initial pilot introduction was extremely successful, and the software is now in use with a wide range of courses. While the key purpose of YACRS was to replace the classroom response clicker systems, which were mostly limited to multiple-choice interactions, the use of students Internet devices allows a greater range of interactions to be possible. YACRS also allows text response questions, and can also support multiple questions being active at the same time, which can be useful as a means running quick class tests or collecting student feedback responses.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

19. Student Feedback Student Feedback (NC Childcare Group B, 12/3/10) Overall the students were very enthusiastic about the assessment and whole process Found that the questions were worded better than the paper assessments – easier to understand A much fairer process for people with dyslexia Makes assessment equal for everyone as does not depend on your written skills but knowledge of the subject Overall found it much better than paper assessments as you are focussed on the knowledge of the subject rather than how to write your answers You need to know more of the unit for this type of assessment as no idea of questions that will come up (therefore for staff it removes any teaching to the test!) Students overall got very good results and completed the assessment in less than the allocated time E-Learning Centre: Staff were very helpful Well organised Technology all worked – no problems Very easy system to use, they feel even if you had poor IT skills you could do this Process was well explained by staff in e-assessment centre and they were there to help with any problems System tells you the time used etc
