The reporting features are meant to help faculty and students have a more complete picture of performance to improve learning outcomes. The presentation also provides follow-up resources on using Connect Reporting.
Students' Acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS - Dr. Lee Kar Ling - INTI Intern...Blackboard APAC
The main focus of the presentation is to provide empirical information to support the students' acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS (Learning Management System) to help students to learn better. INTI International University has been using Blackboard to promote and strengthen Blended Learning, and has faced extensive resistance from both students and academic staff at its inception. However, the research now shows that students are increasingly adopting Blackboard as an LMS and are picking up the needed skills for more effective Blended Learning. Although there are still challenges ahead for the University, the Positiveness displayed is most encouraging, and we will continue to strive to make Blended Learning via the employ of Blackboard as the LMS a norm.

In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of e-learning tools that are able to adapt to suit the ability levels, needs, or preferences of individual learners. In this project we aim to test the utility of an adaptive e-learning study tool within the context of a large undergraduate Psychology course (approximately 700 students). The study tool and a number of associated summative tests are hosted on the course’s Blackboard Learning Management System. Pilot data indicates that students that use the tool perform significantly better on the summative tests compared to non-users (t[683] = 4.35, p <0.001). We examine the relationship in the context of 1) learning analytics data that can be obtained via Blackboard, and 2) a number of known psychological predictors of academic success.

Using Blackboard Learn alongside Microsoft OneNote: the overlaps, the complem...Blackboard APAC
Beginning in 2016, Nossal High School began to focus its professional learning for staff on the use of Microsoft OneNote as complementary teaching and learning software to the MH Blackboard Learn environment we have run for the last 5 years. In this time, the speed and depth of the take up of OneNote and its impact on the teaching and learning experience of staff and students has been dramatic. Not only have our students fully embraced OneNote from a learners' perspective, all teaching and support staff are using Microsoft OneNote to record their own professional development, maintaining an ongoing conversation with the college executive and collecting evidence for their personal records.
This rapid adoption has forced us to consider closely what OneNote elements overlap with Bb Learn, which features are complementary with Bb Learn and ultimately, what part these two software solutions will have within our overall teaching and learning program.
During the presentation, I will be looking at the features of Bb Learn and OneNote that we intend to keep unique to each environment, as well as the elements that we are comfortable in having some overlap. Our overall aim is to ensure we are promoting to staff the most effective software solution for any given purpose whilst ensuring our students are not confused about the location of resources and information from class to class.
I will conclude with what we currently see as the most effective arrangement for the use of these two software packages going forward.
This document summarizes the STaR results for Mesquite High School across four focus areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership/administration, and infrastructure. It finds the school is at an early technology level, with teachers primarily using tech for supplemental instruction and management, and students for skill reinforcement. To improve, it needs to increase teachers' and students' use of technology to support higher-level skills like research, communication, and data analysis.
Online assessment and data analytics - Peter Tan - Institute of Technical Edu...Blackboard APAC
Are you spending lots of time conducting and marking formative assessments, tracking the learning progress of your students, and providing early intervention so as to help them learn and achieve better grades? If so, using a Learning Management System (LMS) together with a data analytics tool may help to increase your productivity. In this session, we will cover how Blackboard tools can help you conduct assessments in a paperless manner and automate the marking. You will also learn how data analytics can help you turn raw assessment data into meaningful information which will help you identify the 'at-risk' students that need your extra help, the better ones that need more challenging tasks, and the chapters that may need to be delivered with a different pedagogical approach. Hence, with a robust LMS and a data analytics tool, your quality of teaching and students' learning will help to bring about a higher student success rate.

A 2009 survey of over 3,600 vocational education students found that 90% wanted some e-learning in their courses, and 42% said e-learning influenced their choice of training provider. Most e-learning courses aim to share information or improve job performance, but focus more on information sharing. Courses can be "pushed" with typical structures or "pulled" by giving learners activities that require pulling information to solve problems or make decisions. Engaging e-learning should incorporate various learning styles and have learners actively practice and apply the content.

Online Learning Services at Portland State University provides course development support and tracking for over 250 online courses each term using a combination of in-house and third party tools. As the number of courses grew ten-fold, OLS developed an in-house database to track basic course info and time but found it lacked detail on development tasks and statuses. They then implemented Teambox to better facilitate file sharing and task management between instructors, instructional designers, and staff. While reporting and analytics remain limited by resources, OLS continues incremental improvements to support online course development with existing resources.
This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on best practices for using Moodle. The workshop introduces evaluation tools to identify instructional design deficiencies in online courses. Participants will learn how to evaluate online courses based on sound pedagogical practices. The agenda includes introductions, a presentation on instructional design and evaluation tools, small group case studies where participants apply the tools, and a large group discussion.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
