Enhancing Engagement and Promoting Peer-Assisted Learning through the Impleme...Blackboard APAC
The higher education classroom is rapidly expanding beyond the limitations posed by brick and mortar buildings into the wide world of cyberspace. Constant accessibility to online information has created unrealistic expectations for academics to respond on demand to student questions. Course related enquiries have significantly increased due to the emergence of e-Learning and mobile devices. Academics are under increasing pressure to juggle large teaching loads whist maintaining a productive research output. This has led to an increased uptake of peer-assisted learning activities whereby students teach each other. Many questions from students could be answered by their peers. It is widely recognised that students learn more efficiently from their peers because it encourages independent, inquiry-based learning. An anonymous asynchronous online discussion board was introduced into the Blackboard platform for second year Science undergraduates as the primary source of student-student and student-academic communication. The authors will present a case study highlighting user statistics, student survey data and what they have learned from the experience.
Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.

Comment
Plenty of useful, detailed feedback. Obviously cares about the class and having people come away from it with
something.
Mrs. Singleton took great interest upon ensuring that each student was informed of important due dates of
assignment. Mrs. Singleton made the online course feel like I was actually within a face to face class.
I truly enjoyed this class! I found that you were a very helpful instructor and gave great feedback to aid with
assignments. The course was very clear cut and easy to follow.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this class especially as an online class with a great teacher. The only downside was the amount of
time we had on the quizzes because sometimes with the drop down boxes long answers I would run very close on
time and feel rushed towards the end since I like to double check my answers two times around when I finish.
