This document discusses a session on using technology to support student learning and engagement. The session aims to help participants understand the role of technology and explore approaches to enhance engagement. The agenda includes introductions, benchmarking reflections, an overview of blended and digital learning at GCU, and an open discussion of experiences using technology. Resources are provided on digital literacy, learning theories, blended learning models, and developing student digital capability.
These guidelines were the subject of a case study presented at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

Forging Stronger Partnerships Between Teachers and Students - Abigail Joy Rod...Blackboard APAC
At only 15 months after its adoption of Blackboard Learn, Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) has been breaking barriers in learning and creating new paths for student achievement. In this presentation, they will share about their experiences in adoption, the solutions that surfaced after a school-wide adoption of Blackboard Learn,their tiny victories in attempting to curb resistance in the adoption of a new learning management system, and, more importantly, the partnerships that they have forged this far into the journey. They understand that institutions in the earlier stages of adoption experience similar difficulties and they hope to ease each other's burdens by sharing lessons, solutions and triumphs.

Social Teaching Strategies for Engaging Today's Active LearnerJason Rhode
The prevalence and widespread use of social media tools make possible a seemingly endless array of ways to share ideas and build new knowledge. During this keynote presentation on March 29, 2013 at Western Illinois University Symposium on Teaching, Research, and Creative Activities by Jason Rhode, we considered how students today are using social media in their daily lives and explore together how social media can be used to actively engage students in the learning process, both in and outside the classroom. A social teaching framework was shared as well as principles and best practices for leveraging social media in teaching and learning. Participants were encouraged to bring their own device to actively participate in the conversation!

The session will show case the Learning Futures/Education and Training Foundation funded resources for the FE and skills sector that its is anticipated may be embedded into a future Jisc service that is currently in the R&D phase.
Online teaching: overcoming the challenges, 20 October 2020Jisc
There is no one right way to use technology to underpin the curriculum. The range of possibilities can make it difficult for practitioners to know where to start, but as universities and colleges adapt to the new normal of teaching in hybrid environments support is needed to ‘get it right.’
There will be challenges, but you can overcome these if time and resources are directed at the right things. There are lots of misunderstandings about what it means to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment. Academic staff need to approach the challenge with an awareness of those misconceptions as well as with a critical and creative mindset.
This webinar will showcase examples of how universities and colleges are currently adapting to provide flexible approaches to learning using digital. The focus will be on what lessons we have learned over the last six months and how we can make online learning a transformative experience for learners, rather than a deficit model.
Designing Exemplary Online Courses in BlackboardJason Rhode
During this presentation by Jason Rhode at the 12th annual SLATE Conference on 10/23/14, we explored suggested best practices included in the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program Rubric for designing engaging online courses. Jason shared practical tips from his experience building a course in Blackboard that meets the established ECP quality benchmarks. We also covered the steps and associated deadlines for faculty interested in submitting their course for consideration as a Blackboard Exemplary Course. This session was geared toward an audience already familiar with the basic online teaching tools available in Blackboard Learn. While the examples shared were specifically of courses in Blackboard, the principles can be applied to developing quality online courses in any learning management system.

Designing Exemplary Online Courses in BlackboardJason Rhode
The Blackboard Exemplary Course Program began in 2000 with the goal of identifying and disseminating best practices for designing engaging online courses. Using an established rubric for online course quality, faculty and course designers can evaluate how well their course conforms to proven online teaching best practices for Course Design, Interaction and Collaboration, Assessment, and Learner Support. During this online session offered 12/17/13, we explored suggested best practices included in the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program Rubric for designing engaging online courses. Practical tips for building a course in Blackboard that meets the established quality benchmarks and links to sample award-winning course tours were provided. We also covered the steps and associated deadlines for faculty interested in submitting their course for consideration as a Blackboard Exemplary Course. This workshop was geared toward an audience already familiar with the basic online teaching tools available in Blackboard.

Bridging the digital divide: academic skills and digital literacies to suppor...RichardM_Walker
This presentation reflects on recent developments in the adoption of technology enhanced learning (TEL) tools within the UK higher education sector - in particular the rise of student-controlled and creative technologies to promote information, knowledge-sharing and networking in learning and teaching activities. Current generations of students are now arriving on campus with the expectation that their technologies will seamlessly interconnect with university services and support a flexible and personalised learning experience - engaging them in collaborative knowledge creation activities and developing their learning as producers of ‘content’ (Generation ‘C’). Drawing on the most recent sector-wide research (Jisc, 2017; UCISA 2018), this paper discusses the impact of these technological developments on academic practice – specifically the scope that learning technologies now present for innovation in the delivery of the taught curriculum.

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.
