This presentation will offer practical advice on the efficiencies and effectiveness of content recycling and repurposing. How to maximise the investment in content creation and distribute it across channels while retaining your sanity.
Content marketing is hard. To create and distribute relevant and valuable content to attract/acquire/engage/convert target audiences takes energy, time and money. To create that content for multiple digital and social channels (which continue to proliferate) is near impossible. Just when you thought you'd succeeded, the audience moves on and new content is required. Aaaggghh!
Content marketing is not about constant reinvention, it's about making full use of the assets you create. Using practical examples and personal experience, Scot McKee, managing director of Birddog, will offer advice, tips and insight to make your content investment go further.

2. Sometimes, best practices conflict
Detailed information vs. wall of text
Clicks to content vs. logical organization
CSCC’s standard shell vs. the best way to organize your class
Analytics vs. Blackboard Ugh!
The tricks I’m going to show you resolve some of these conflicts.
Online Course Design

3. Tabs
Html
Detail vs. Wall of Text
There are two tricks I use to break up information
4. Prevents excessive scrolling
Organizes presentations
Turn on tabs in Customization
Detail vs. Wall of Text
Using Tabbed Content:
6. Detail vs. Wall of Test
I even have tabs within tabs:
There is a special trick I use to
do this. It’s not easy, but I can
give you the template if
Heather & Mary promise not
to kill me first.
7. • I use extensive html in my classes, but I am not an expert.
• I Google what I want to do and find the html that will do it, OR
• I use a WYSIWYG html editor (SeaMonkey) and copy/paste the
code into Blackboard.
Detail vs. Wall of Text
HTML
8. I keep a file with CSCC colors on my
desktop to reference.
I keep colors and styles consistent
throughout my course.
Detail vs. Wall of Text

10. We want to reduce the number of clicks to content
We also want our courses to be well organized
Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
When is a Click not a Click
11. Embedding documents into Blackboard rather than
requiring students to click to download a document saves
time and enhances the usability of your course.
Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
Using the <iframe> tag
12. Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
Using the <iframe> tag
Students can print or
download using
these buttons!
13. Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
Using the <iframe> tag
Very simple to use.
1. Upload your pdf into the Content Collection
2. Open the 360° view
3. Look up the permanent URL
4. Copy/paste it into the following code:
<iframe src=“url of file” height=“1000px”
width=“100%”></iframe>
14. This is a great tool if you don’t want to reformat
your documents into html.
Save them as a pdf, place in your content
collection, and use iframe to embed them in your
course.
Be mindful of document format
Pdf’s are best. “Portable Document Format”
PowerPoints can be converted to flash or pdf or
both (use iSpring or OpenOffice).
Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
Using the <iframe> tag
15. Use Blackboard’s Course Link
Clicks to Content vs.
Logical Organization
When is a Click not a Click?
16. The click to content also helps organize your course
within the standard course shell limitations.
Ideally, we would like our assignments immediately
after the presentation in Soc 1101. So, now students
have 2 ways to get to the assignment.

17. In your gradebook, choose “Item Analysis” using the
column down arrow.
Choose “Run”
Wait
Review your questions!
Analytics & Blackboard
Analytics are vastly improved
18. Check out your “Performance Dashboard”
It includes warnings based on
Missed assignments
Time since last login
Grade average
You can monitor or e-mail students at risk.
Analytics & Blackboard
Analytics are vastly improved
19. Using rubrics in grading subjective assignments
helps clarify expectations and improves feedback.
Turn on Rubrics in your course tools.
I use rubrics in the discussion boards and on
subjective questions in homework assignments.
Analytics & Blackboard
Rubrics
21. Once you turn on the rubric tool, you will see a link
under Course Tools.
You can create and edit the rubric by clicking on that
tool.
The ability to add rubrics is located in your options
when you create an assignment, a question or
discussion board.
There are currently no analytics with rubrics –
unfortunately (other than overall averages/stnd dev)
