Improving 180 Blackboard Sites in 180 Days - Christian King & Sandra Thwaites...Blackboard APAC
At many universities, the Blackboard subject site is the primary interface for the student learning experience. If the site is poorly organised, students do not know how to navigate the learning experience, such as when to engage with what content. If assessment criteria are minimally indicated, the quality of submissions suffers. If no tools are used to foster interaction, the learning experience becomes isolating. Conversely, when Bb sites are effectively designed and maintained, the quality of the student learning experience tends to be high. The quality of Bb sites varies across universities and within programs of study. Students who experience a well-designed site in their first semesters come to expect this standard in subsequent semesters.
Bond University thereby undertook a whole-of-university strategic priority project to improve 180 Bb subject sites in 180 days. Associate Deans (Learning & Teaching) in each faculty selected the sites. The initial quality of the sites varied, with many assessed as initially high quality, meaning that improvement meant moving from strength to strength and focusing on elements such as increasing elements of technology enhanced learning. The co-facilitators of this presentation are the academic developers who worked one-on-one with each of the participating academics. Therefore, from their perspectives, the key takeaways for attending delegates will be:
- Identification of challenges and stumbling blocks, as well as success strategies
- Checklists and professional development materials
- Illustration of before and after improvements as exemplars
- Ideas for increasing elements of technology enhanced learning
- Templates for emails, announcements and other communications

Innovating in the MOOC Space - Karin Pfister - Charles Darwin UniversityBlackboard APAC
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have gained momentum in recent years and offer a new opportunity for interaction with potential university students. While MOOCs have been seen as a disruptive force for higher education, they have provided spaces to explore innovative approaches and emerging technologies that can then be integrated into regular university course content. Designing courses that are not aligned with any accreditation requirements has
allowed the flexibility to creatively experiment and push boundaries. Using Blackboard’s Open Education platform, Charles Darwin University has developed and delivered 3 MOOCs showcasing creative approaches to otherwise traditional course content.
This presentation will showcase CDU’s processes, innovative approaches, and lessons learnt. As a bonus, you will also see inside the Memory MOOC’s visually stunning “Memory Palace” and see how learning Accounting was brought to life through interactive video and branching scenarios in the “Who’s Counting” MOOC.

Since 2014, Nossal High School has run a program of Digital Delivery Days where students are asked to remain at home and classes are delivered entirely via Blackboard for duration of the day. This year we have focused on the use of Collaborate Ultra for working with our students through their course areas on Blackboard. We have also been investigating solutions for encouraging classrooms to default to team-based learning activities, away from centralised AV (projectors and whiteboards) and believe Blackboard Collaborate Ultra may be able to provide us with a feasible alternative.
This presentation will report on the effectiveness of using Collaborate Ultra within our Digital Delivery setting and also on the early stages of replacing centralised AV within our classrooms.
What does good course design look like to you - Alex Wu, BlackboardBlackboard APAC
Course design is undoubtedly a critical element of any online or blended learning environment. As academics and instructional designers, we often associate course design with teaching and learning outcomes that are course- and program-specific and are aligned specifically to graduate attributes or goals. In this session, we will instead take a deconstructive approach to analyse each of the main tool groups within Blackboard Learn and Collaborate, and showcase some unique tool deployment use-cases from clients around the globe. We will also touch on using the same tools in research and grant management to discuss how both teaching and research departments could cross benefit from using the same platform within an institution.
This document summarizes research on the impact of MOOCs on campus education at Delft University of Technology. It finds that at least 87% of the university's MOOCs were being used on campus, primarily to flip classrooms or supplement existing courses. Faculty reported that campus students benefited from using MOOC material, with improved grades and retention. The use of open educational resources increased as well. Overall, MOOCs positively impacted campus education by modernizing teaching approaches and resources.
This document discusses the Carpe Diem approach for designing flexible MOOCs. The Carpe Diem approach involves 6 stages: 1) Blueprint, 2) Storyboard, 3) Prototype, 4) Check Reality, 5) Review and Adjust, and 6) Action Plan. It notes two challenges for a video course team in applying this approach: 1) How to introduce the value of the Carpe Diem approach and 2) How to explain the specific nature of designing a MOOC. The document appears to be from a presentation on using the Carpe Diem approach for MOOC design.

Assessing Students and Tutors with Learning Analytics DashboardsEADTU
Vassilios Verykios from Hellenic Open University gave a presentation about Assessing Students and Tutors with Learning Analytics Dashboards as part of the online events by expert pool Assessment within EMPOWER.
The document outlines an implementation plan and timeline for redesigning developmental education courses and sequences at a community college from 2013-2014. It discusses introducing new courses and scaling up existing courses in the fall of 2013 while continuing to phase out the past sequence. The full implementation would be complete by fall of 2014. It also addresses several aspects of the redesign process including developing the curriculum, training faculty and staff, assessing students, partnering with other institutions, and evaluating the outcomes of the redesign.
The document summarizes the impact and evolution of OpenLearn, the Open University's open educational resource platform, over its first 10 years of operation. Some key points:
- OpenLearn has provided free learning materials to over 4 million learners globally and increased access to education.
- Through integration with formal OU modules, OpenLearn has helped boost student enrollment, progression rates, and confidence. It provides a way for learners to sample distance learning.
- Over time, OpenLearn has expanded its social learning tools and begun offering "badged open courses" that provide recognition for informal learning through digital badges. These initiatives have increased learner engagement and driven more learners to pursue formal qualifications.
- A redesign for
Technology has changed teaching and learning by making it more interactive, engaging, and collaborative. It allows students more control over their learning and provides new ways for teachers to guide students. When used effectively, technology can enhance learning by making it more personalized and active while also allowing teachers to better identify at-risk students. However, technology should not replace human interaction or the social aspects of learning.
Administering a customised, printable certificate of completion in Blackboard...Blackboard APAC
While badges and achievements have their place, some training programs often still require participants to have a printed or PDF certificate bearing their name as proof of completing a task. Griffith University developed a tool to fit this need some years ago and it has recently been transformed into a Blackboard Building Block, allowing more sustainable usage and customisation options. This presentation will talk through the history of the project and demonstrate the capabilities of the new Building Block.

This document describes a project using technology-facilitated authentic group work to teach linguistics students. Students worked in groups on a real-world project to create a website promoting linguistics using Google tools like Google Sites, Docs, and Hangouts. This allowed for collaboration across groups. The project gave students independence, developed skills like project management, and resulted in a useful end product for an external audience. Both students and academics found the approach very effective for motivating students by giving them ownership and experience with an authentic task.
- Over 60% of Colorado Community College System students place into developmental math, while over 25% place into developmental English and 13% into developmental reading. Completion rates for students who start in developmental courses are significantly lower than for students who do not need remediation.
- The Developmental Education Taskforce has been charged with reviewing developmental education practices and making recommendations to improve student success, such as through assessment, online learning, modular course options, and mainstreaming developmental content.
- The taskforce is examining best practices and innovations like open-entry math labs, mainstreaming developmental content into gateway courses, accelerated and compressed courses, and contextualizing developmental material, in order to recommend implementation strategies across the college system.

This document provides instructions for observing the foraging behaviors of birds at a bird feeder. It notes that birds will seek out food sources that maximize energy gained for energy spent. The experiment will examine which types of seeds (black oil, safflower, striped sunflower) different bird species (juncos, bluejays, nuthatches, sparrows) prefer. Students are asked to form a hypothesis about seed selection and analyze the results using a chi-squared test to determine if seed preferences differ from expected values.
There are three main types of microscopes: compound light, stereo, and electron. Compound light microscopes use two lenses to focus light to produce a 2D magnified image. Stereo microscopes provide a 3D view of larger specimens. Electron microscopes use electron beams rather than light for magnification, allowing for much higher magnifications. Scanning electron microscopes provide 3D images while transmission electron microscopes give 2D views.
This document provides conversion factors and example problems for dimensional analysis. It includes conversions between common units like inches and centimeters, as well as metric prefix conversions.

Justifications are provided to check if answers seem reasonable based on relative unit sizes.
This document provides conversion factors for various units including quarts, gallons, miles, feet, inches, pounds, kilograms, centimeters, meters, micrometers, nanometers, and Kelvin and Celsius temperatures. It also gives examples of converting between these units and checking answers in scientific notation. Conversions between metric units can be done using multiplication and division with the appropriate conversion factors.
Wages and Employment in Perfect CompetitionLumen Learning
This document analyzes wages and employment in a perfectly competitive labor market. It discusses key concepts such as marginal revenue product (MRP), which represents the demand for labor, and marginal factor cost (MFC), which represents the supply of labor. The document uses these concepts to determine the optimal number of employees a firm should hire by comparing MRP and MFC - hiring employees as long as MRP exceeds MFC. It also discusses how factors like changes in productivity, prices of other resources, and demand for the good produced can impact demand for labor over time.

Cells are the smallest and most basic unit of life. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic cells which are simple and lack organelles, and eukaryotic cells which are more complex and contain organelles. Eukaryotic cells include animal and plant cells which have internal structures like a nucleus that holds DNA, organelles for functions like protein production, and a cytoskeleton for internal organization and movement.
Erecting a Billboard in Tiananmen Square: Global MarketLumen Learning
This document discusses global marketing and promotion strategies. It notes that the 4 Ps (product, place, price, promotion) and integrated marketing communications (IMC) are important frameworks. When launching promotions globally, companies must define the target market, pinpoint the price, determine distribution channels, and use IMC to send consistent branding messages while addressing cultural differences. Factors like language, colors, values, business norms, and religion vary internationally and require market research to effectively reach different audiences with advertising. Placement and positioning of products also depend on cultural contexts, competition in local markets, and how receptive target audiences will be. Outsourcing and offshoring can provide cost efficiencies but require managing supply chain operations.
A government imposed price control, like rent control, can result in shortages as seen in crowded grocery store lines during times of price controls in Europe. A price floor, like a minimum wage, sets a price above the equilibrium price and results in a surplus of the good. For example, a minimum wage leads to higher unemployment rates for younger, unskilled workers. A price ceiling sets a price below the equilibrium price and results in a shortage of the good, like limitations on concert ticket scalping creating a shortage. [/SUMMARY]
Meiosis involves two nuclear divisions that result in genetically unique daughter cells. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes split but identical sister chromatids remain attached. Meiosis II separates the sister chromatids, reducing the number of chromosomes by half. Special events like crossing over in prophase I and random alignment of homologous chromosomes in metaphase I contribute to genetic diversity between the daughter cells produced in meiosis.
This document contains 22 figures summarizing key concepts from Chapter 2 of a psychology textbook on psychological research. The figures cover a range of topics, including how psychological research relies on both inductive and deductive reasoning as well as the scientific method. They also address specific research methods like longitudinal studies, experiments, surveys, and archival research. Ethical issues related to human and animal research subjects are depicted in several figures as well.
This document summarizes key concepts in Chapter 8 on memory from a psychology textbook. It discusses the three main functions of memory - encoding, storage, and retrieval. It describes different types of memory like declarative versus procedural memory and episodic versus semantic memory. It also explains common memory phenomena like flashbulb memories, retrograde and anterograde amnesia, eyewitness misidentification, and forgetting curves. Different brain structures involved in memory like the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex are also mentioned.
This document contains captions for 31 figures related to the key concepts in Chapter 12 of Psychology on social psychology. The figures provide visual examples of social phenomena like racial bias, social roles, conformity, prejudice, relationships, and altruism. The captions describe social psychology experiments, real world examples of social concepts, and diagrams illustrating psychological theories about topics like love, persuasion, obedience, and group influence.
Chem 2 - The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy and Heat IVLumen Learning
The document discusses entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It explains that entropy increases with increasing temperature as heat is added to a system and the number of accessible energy states increases. It provides examples of how entropy increases for phase transitions like melting (fusion) and vaporization, as molecules gain more freedom of movement and positions when changing phases from solid to liquid to gas. The entropy change is positive for these spontaneous phase transitions as disorder and accessible states increase.
This document discusses different types of musical ensembles including chamber music groups, orchestras, concert bands, jazz bands, and rock bands.

Gain insight into Lumen’s support model, pricing, and strategies we recommend to help students, faculty and institutions realize the full benefits of OER.
The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) has broken new ground with its Zx23 Project a yearlong grant-funded program to encourage every community college in the state to launch a Z-Degree or zero textbook cost degree program using open educational resources (OER). VCCS is using a collaborative model to develop and share OER-based courses across the entire system, using the VCCS system-wide Blackboard implementation and Lumen-supported OER course content. This enables institutions to expedite progress by viewing and building on each other’s work. Presenters from VCCS and Lumen Learning share program goals and approach, the collaborative course-sharing model (including VCCS’s very cool open course sharing site), progress to date, and advice for others exploring OER degree programs.

Flexible Delivery of English & Mathematics with OpenLearn: Impact of Bringing...Robert Farrow
Paper presented at Open Education Global 2019. Until 2012 there was a nascent OER movement developing the UK, supported by government funding and agencies like JISC. This led to a network of OER projects at many higher education providers. With the withdrawal of funding under subsequent governments the OER movement in the UK became restricted to individual efforts alongside hubs of activity (OER World Map, 2019; JISC, 2013). While there is still little governmental support for OER - open access is generally a more consistent focus - there is an increasing interest at policy level in flexible and digital forms of delivery (Orr et al., 2018).
This presentation reports on two projects. Bringing Learning to Life is funded by the UK Department for Education under the Flexible Learning Fund. Flexible Essential Skills is funded by The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW). Both projects involve making foundational English and Mathematics courses available to a wide range of learners through the OpenLearn repository and LMS (Law & Perryman, 2017). The content is made available as OER for use by a range of learners, including formal students in further education colleges (face-to-face, blended) and non-formal learning scenarios. Both projects are led by The Open University (UK) who provide programme management, content development, platform delivery and evaluation.
Evaluation methodologies are being harmonised in the interests of establishing a basis for comparison between the two datasets. Evaluation results based on original data will be presented. These will include a detailed description of the learners targeted and their needs; perceptions of the key challenges faced; attitudes towards technology and digital skills in adult learners; an exploration of learner motivation, strategy and outcomes; and an examination of the perceptions and views of staff. The impact evaluations combine survey and interview data with OpenLearn analytics and case studies for individual colleges.
Using Open Educational Resources to Improve Affordability, Access and Student...Lumen Learning
The cost of expensive commercial textbooks a growing barrier to students’ success. Many institutions are now turning to freely available open textbooks and other open educational resources (OER) as a better alternative. Today, a growing number of colleges and universities are eliminating textbook costs in OER-based courses that give students free access to all course materials on the first day of class.
This presentation, prepared by open education innovator Dr. David Wiley and Center for Excellence in Distance Learning director Dr. Kim Long discusses what is OER, how to find and use OER, and the linkage between OER and improvements in student success, with a particular focus on minority-serving institutions.

Similar to State of Lumen Update: September 2015 (20)
This document provides an overview of life science concepts including:
- Biology is the study of life, which is defined by cells, DNA, and basic components.
- The properties of life include being organized, using energy, maintaining internal environments, reproducing, responding to the environment, growing and developing, and evolving.
- Organisms are organized in a hierarchy from atoms to biosphere. The tree of life shows relationships between domains of life - bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The scientific method involves making observations, hypotheses, experiments, theories, and conclusions to build knowledge.
This document discusses collective action and the two main barriers to it - coordination and the prisoner's dilemma. It provides examples of focal points that helped large groups coordinate for collective action, such as Franklin's "Join or Die" cartoon and King's leadership in the civil rights movement. The prisoner's dilemma concept is explained using a hypothetical bank robbery scenario and in examples like free riders benefiting from public goods without paying for them. Tragedies of the commons are also summarized as situations where individual self-interest can undermine the common good.
This document provides an overview of basic musical elements including melody, harmony, and scales. It defines melody as a sequence of pitches that form a single musical idea.

Practice Problems - Dimensional Analysis BlankLumen Learning
This document provides conversions between various units including miles to cm, pm to feet, gallons to cm3, Angstroms to miles, mg to μg, m2 to cm2, μm2 to cm2, mL to pages printed, minutes to sort sheets of paper, g⋅cm3/s2 to kg⋅m3/hour2, g/L to lb/ft3, and m/s to miles/day. It also provides examples of dimensional analysis problems involving multiple conversion steps and significant figures that students will need to solve for a chemistry class.
This document provides conversion factors and example problems for converting between different units of measurement for length, volume, and temperature. It includes conversions between gallons/quarts, miles/feet, meters/centimeters/nanometers/micrometers, degrees Celsius/Kelvin, and milliliters/cubic centimeters. Students are advised that metric conversions will not be provided on exams and are expected to know temperature conversions between degrees Celsius and Kelvin. Several multi-part problems walk through conversions between various units.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy and Heat IVLumen Learning
The document discusses entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It explains that entropy increases with increasing temperature as heat is added to a system and the number of accessible energy states increases. It provides examples of how entropy increases for phase transitions like melting (fusion) and vaporization, as molecules gain more positional freedom and accessible states in the liquid and gas phases compared to the solid phase. The document predicts that the change in entropy (ΔS) is positive for vaporization, as the gas phase allows molecules even more possible positions than the liquid.
Chem 2 - Third Law of Thermodynamics and Standard Molar Entropy VLumen Learning
This document discusses the Third Law of Thermodynamics and how it relates to standard molar entropy (S°). The Third Law states that the entropy of a substance at 0 K is zero, meaning it is in a perfectly ordered state with one microstate. This allows the absolute entropies and standard molar entropies (S°) of substances to be calculated. S° values are provided in tables and can be used to calculate the entropy change (ΔS°) of chemical reactions based on the standard molar entropies of the reactants and products.
This document discusses standard free energy of formation (ΔGf°) and how to calculate standard free energy change (ΔG°) for chemical reactions. ΔGf° is defined as the free energy change for the formation of one mole of a compound from its elements in their standard states. For elements in their standard states, ΔGf° is zero. ΔG° can be calculated using the standard free energies of formation of products and reactants. It can also be calculated using standard enthalpies of formation (ΔHf°) and standard molar entropies (S°) with the equation ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°.
Chem 2 - The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Spontaneous Reactions and Entropy S ILumen Learning
This document discusses the Second Law of Thermodynamics and entropy. It begins by defining spontaneous processes as those that occur automatically without energy input and tend to proceed in one direction. It then reviews that the First Law concerns energy transfer and conservation. While the First Law doesn't determine spontaneity, entropy does - the greater the number of possible molecular arrangements (microstates), the higher the entropy and more disorder. The Second Law states that the total entropy change for any spontaneous process in the universe must be positive.
Chem 2 - Gibbs Free Energy and Spontaneous Reactions VILumen Learning
The document discusses how Gibbs free energy (ΔG) can be used to predict the spontaneity of chemical reactions. ΔG is calculated as ΔH - TΔS, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy and ΔS is the change in entropy. The sign of ΔG determines whether a reaction is spontaneous or not. If ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction. If ΔG is positive, the reaction is nonspontaneous in the forward direction. Several examples are provided to illustrate how the signs of ΔH and ΔS impact the sign of ΔG and spontaneity.
Chem 2 - Free Energy and the Equilbrium Constant K VIIILumen Learning
This document discusses the relationship between the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) and the equilibrium constant (K) for a chemical reaction. It states that ΔG° = -RTlnK, and that the value of K can be used to determine if ΔG° is positive or negative. It also distinguishes between ΔG°, the standard free energy which does not change, and ΔG, the actual free energy under non-standard conditions which does change over the course of a reaction.
Chem 2 - The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Predicting Entropy Changes Qualita...Lumen Learning
This document discusses the Second Law of Thermodynamics and predicting changes in entropy. It provides examples of how increasing volume leads to increased entropy due to more possible particle positions. Dissolving solids and diluting solutions are also described as increasing entropy. Finally, an example chemical reaction shows how converting gases to solids decreases entropy by removing thermal disorder of the gas phase.
Chem 2 - The Second Law of Termodynamics: Entropy Microstates and the Boltzma...Lumen Learning
This document discusses entropy, microstates, and the Boltzmann equation as it relates to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It provides examples to demonstrate how to calculate the number of microstates and changes in entropy. Specifically, it explains that entropy is related to the number of possible microscopic arrangements or "microstates" of a system. The Boltzmann equation relates the microscopic number of microstates to the macroscopic property of entropy. Examples are provided to show how to calculate the initial and final number of microstates for a system, and use the Boltzmann equation to determine the change in entropy.
Chem 2 - Acid-Base Equilibria V: Weak Acid Equilibria and Calculating the pH ...Lumen Learning
This document discusses calculating the pH of weak acid solutions. It explains that weak acids only partially dissociate into hydronium ions and conjugate base ions according to an equilibrium reaction. The equilibrium constant Ka relates the concentrations of these species. An example problem calculates the pH of a 0.25 M nitric acid solution using its Ka value, finding the hydronium ion concentration to be 1.07 × 10-2 M and the pH to be 1.97. It also calculates the percent dissociation of the weak acid.
Chem 2 - Acid-Base Equilibria IV: Calculating the pH of Strong Acids versus W...Lumen Learning
This document discusses the differences between strong acids and weak acids in aqueous solutions and calculating pH. It states that strong acids, like HCl, completely dissociate in water, resulting in hydronium ion concentrations equal to the original acid concentration. Therefore, the pH of a strong acid solution can be calculated directly from its concentration. Weak acids, like HF, exist in an equilibrium with their dissociated and undissociated forms. Their pH cannot be determined directly and requires calculating equilibrium concentrations. The document gives the example of calculating the pH of a 0.05 M HI solution as 1.30 since HI is a strong acid.
This document discusses pH, pOH, and pKw in water. It defines that in pure water at 25°C, Kw = 1.0 × 10-14, meaning the concentration of H3O+ and OH- ions are both 1.0 × 10-7 M. The pH of pure water is defined as -log[H3O+] = 7, and similarly the pOH is 7. The pKw is defined as -logKw = 14. Relationships discussed include pH + pOH = pKw, and that the inverse logs can be used to find concentrations from pH/pOH or Kw from pKw. The document states the key things readers should be able to do, like
