Tips and Tricks to Engage with the New Blackboard Collaborate Ultra - Lau Eng...

Blackboard APAC

There's nothing new about the connection between student engagement and student learning. Educators have been making it for years. What's changed is the role that technology plays in the classroom. What's changed is the emergence of virtual learning, both real-time and self-paced. And what's changed is the students. They're digital natives - tech savvy, connected, always on - who'll turn learning off if it's not deeply engaging. With our new Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, we make it easier than ever to create a vibrant and engaging learning environment. That's why thousands of educators in higher education and in K-12 are using Blackboard Collaborate to get their students engaged in a lot of very cool ways. The result? Students who are more engaged. And as every educator knows, students who are more engaged are shown to perform better academically. How cool is that?

Construction of my media magazine – front cover

The document describes the process of designing the front cover of a magazine in Adobe Fireworks. It discusses choosing a color scheme and title, laying out the main elements, adding an image and text stories, and making iterative changes to improve readability and design including flipping the image, changing text colors, and adding shadows and a gradient background. The final design includes the magazine title, cover image, headline story, additional stories, and price.

Construction of my media magazine - double page spread

I have created the first stage of a double page spread for my media magazine in Adobe Fireworks. I have chosen two large images of the featured artists and added the magazine name in the same font as the cover to maintain consistency. I have begun inserting question and answer text in different colors to test how it looks, and have also included an album image and order details. After feedback suggesting more color, I made minor text color adjustments and added a coupon to fill empty space before selecting a patterned background image to add depth without overcomplicating the design.

Bringing together internal and external students on Blackboard - Brett Fyfiel...

Blackboard APAC

With the recent redevelopment of postgraduate courses in project management for the School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment, new challenges were faced to make units more inclusive of a variety of enrolment preferences. The short term ambitions for the courses included developing units that are delivered both facetoface, and entirely online and have the potential to be scaled to meet the growing demand for continuing professional education. To ensure that students could join either facetoface or online offerings of the same units, the implementation team brought internal and external cohorts together on the same unit sites on Blackboard. The units are currently under evaluation but some early learnings may provide insight into new approaches to blended learning, and how these approaches have facilitated new ways of teaching and learning through tentative academic culture change. Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

Workshop: Setting the Foundations for an Iterative Course Evolution Model – A...

Blackboard APAC

Elements of exemplary course design are well documented and readily accessible from various resources. Most notable are the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program (http://bit.ly/2jCURRd) and the Quality Matters Rubrics and Standards (http://bit.ly/2jdtwTG). While these are excellent resources that outlines the goals and standards to improve the learning experience of students in an online or blended course environment, workload associated with its deployment and management is difficult to evaluate. With increasing strain on teaching and learning support teams within institutions, this exacerbates the challenge faced by instructors and academics of HOW to approach improving their courses in a scalable and manageable way. This workshop will focus on facilitating participants in the development of a course evolution and management framework. The goal is to guide participants in establishing a unique set of foundations for course design, upon which iterative improvements can be planned and executed in a manageable manner. These can then be mapped against relevant Exemplary Course Design Rubric elements to create short-, mid-, and long-term milestones.

Workbook: Extending Active Learning in the Book Andrew James

The document discusses extending the capabilities of Moodle Books by adding active learning elements like questions and assessments. It proposes developing a Moodle Workbook module that would integrate question bank functionality to allow questions to be added directly within book chapters. This would provide a structured way for students to self-test their comprehension through questions embedded in the learning context. Teachers would be able to import, edit, review, grade and provide feedback on student question responses through a linked quiz available only to teachers. The document considers both developing a standalone Workbook plugin versus modifying Books to link to quizzes.
