MBS has one of the largest undergraduate intakes of any UK campus-based business school, with up to 550 new students enrolling each year. Students are expected to develop and utilise research skills throughout their degree programme, with many course units focusing on the practical applications of theories from the outset.
This session will focus on how a collaboration between academics, library staff and graduate teaching assistants resulted in the creation of a comprehensive suite of blended learning activities (focused around the students’ first assignment), which aided the transition to higher education learning for the new student intake.
Blackboard Learn played a pivotal role in the process by housing a suite of bespoke online learning resources (which were adapted from the University of Manchester Library’s Catalyst award winning blended learning programme).
The resources were designed to improve the research and referencing habits of new students within the subject area of Business and Management. Blackboard Learn also proved effective in allowing us to monitor students’ progress throughout the course unit. We will discuss how we gathered over 300 feedback responses (relating to students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the different training elements e.g. online, face-face), together with a short presentation of these findings.

weathering is the process of disintegration (physical breakdown) and decomposition (chemical breakdown) of rocks and minerals. In physical weathering, rocks are reduced in size but the chemical composition remains unaltered. In contrast, chemical weathering alter the chemical composition of rocks by changing the mineral constitutes. In weathering, primary minerals are decomposed to form secondary minerals. Weathering plays a vital role in soil formation.
Learning and teaching reimagined - how are student needs changing?Jisc
Presentation slides from our first learning and teaching reimagined series, which focused on how student needs are changing.
The rapid move to online learning brought about by COVID-19 has caused profound changes to higher education and the student experience.
But how much do we really know about the needs of our students? On what evidence are we basing these views? Even if we are confident that we do have a full and accurate picture of these needs, what difference is it making to our planning and decision making?
As part of our learning and teaching reimagined programme with UUK, Advance HE and Emerge Education, this webinar provided the opportunity to share your own understanding of your students’ needs and to hear those of others – not least from students themselves.
It explores the value of different types of evidence and, crucially, how to then build on this insight to ensure that the student voice permeates through, and plays an active role in, influencing your strategic planning.

150723 inspiring next generation career successv6ME+
Businesses are spending heavily on recruiting and developing young talent through direct entry graduate schemes and other early careers programmes, yet 25% of companies have unfilled positions due to graduates having a lack of employable skills.
Whilst the transformation in Further Education funding has increased the focus of universities on employability, this is failing to engage a large number of students and provide the personalised support in their moment of need. Many young people are feeling overwhelmed as they take their first steps on their career resulting in high numbers of employees being disengaged and uninspired in their work.
So, who's doing anything about it?
There's a gaping divide in who owns the problem, with employees looking for their employers to take the lead and provide visibility of their future careers options and businesses looking for individuals to take control.
ME+® fills the gap, putting people in control of their own careers and guiding them to achieve their ambitions.

TLC2016 - Taking assessments and examinations to the next level: AlephQBlackboardEMEA
Presenter: Christine Lippens
Organisation: Universiteit Antwerpen
Description: It is often a challenge to educators to offer high quality assignments and quizzes in the context of blended learning. As a rule, intra-term assigments do not generate a lot of student engagement or enthusiasm, unless they match what students can expect on their actual final exam. And even if this is the case, additional incentives are often needed to ensure student participation. Over the past 5 years, Antwerp University has been succesfull in implementing technology driven solutions to achieve this, with degrees of participation exceeding 90% and significant improvement in exam results, without having to compromise on academic content.

Editor's Notes
On this slide I will introduce the online resource mentioning:
The online resource overall mentioning how the resource work in relation to the CLP and then in the open training programme
Explaining how our resources sit both in BB, openly on our website and available for download via Jorum
We currently have 35 online resources available with more in the pipelin which are identified through feedback we receive from academics, students and the open training programme.
Here it the land page for the libraries MLE webpages.
For the OTP this where students find our workshops and online resource.
We have made it easier for students to find our resources by tagging them by the skills/areas they cover
The resources are added on request by the development team using our files housed in Blackboards content collection.
We break down our resources by faculty and use Google Campaign tags to track usage from each of our 4 catagories
And this is typically how the resources look within a BB cours
Talk them through our normal development process
Could we give some background info on MBS and it’s relationship with University
Could we talk a bit about how you as academics feel the library can help with student skills development- What are benefits to you and the students
Assessing a proposal for a new hotel.
Self-directed learning about business databases using E-learning essentials accessed via BB
Provided with background data (e.g. Mintel, PwC, hotel operators)
Supplement this through individual and independent research (e.g. FAME, Keynote, Factiva etc.)
Pool resources and deliver a pitch (information on delivering presentations available through the Link2Lists via BB)
Some information about undergraduates in general (particularly new starters). Their academic skill-sets in Year One. Particular reference to their information searching habits. What sources do they tend to use in their assignments. What does a typical bibliography look like.
And here is what we produced. A tailored suit of business resources
The main concept to consider that relates to this concept from an academic viewpoint would be whether there is any relationship between gender and the effectiveness of a manager. There are LOTS of words, phrases and concepts to consider here are a few examples within each category.
This will be your first task in the practical session – To come up with a good list of keywords and phrases which you can use to search for useful information
Talk them through adapting our resources for the CLP
