Today’s Approach Dialogue DemonstrationInformation

Our Teaching Community

The Networked Learning Environment A true networked learning environment exists when any student or teacher can: –view instructional content –collaborate with educators –evaluate academic performance –access any learning resources at any time to achieve their educational objectives.

Content Management in the Networked Learning Environment Faculty-created content can either reside in a specific course or in a content manager, allowing for maximum efficiency and flexibility. Content can be shared in a number of ways: individually, through sub-areas designed for a specific purpose or across the institution via a learning object repository.

Content Presentation Control identification and sequencing Release content based on varying criteria (date, user, group, item status, attempt, or grade) Cross-link content within and across courses Allow content viewing alongside (and within) synchronous or asynchronous discussions

Content Management Store and share any type of content Use Web Folders (WebDAV) to load mass content, and to edit content inline Leverage a visual text box editor for editing and embedding content Use more content, click less

Content Resources Publisher partners provide course cartridges Access the MERLOT catalogue Share learning objects with other institutions

Communication in the Networked Learning Environment Communication occurs throughout a users’ participation in a course (or within the larger networked community). Communication tools must be accessible to anyone at all times, as designated by the instructor and/or facilitator.

Asynchronous Communication Use addresses, or leverage an internal messaging system Search threaded discussion boards Support anonymity in discussions as needed Integrate voice-based communications through Blackboard Building Blocks partnerships

Synchronous Communication Reduce complications with a simple text-based chat Facilitate content/collaboration sessions with a virtual classroom Use Private Messaging as needed

Group Communication Set aside areas devoted to small-group collaboration and communication Easily create and manage groups through Blackboard Building Blocks utilities

Collaboration in the Networked Learning Environment Providing collaboration around content is critical to teaching and learning success. Collaboration practices must allow for the granular dissemination of rules and permissions, as well as the use of tools that maximize efficiency. These tools must be available to anyone within the learning community.

Learning Objects and Repositories E-Portfolios support collection and presentation of academic or professional work The Learning Object Catalog is controlled by designated managers, but allows for easy submission from faculty content collections.

Assessment in the Networked Learning Environment The assessment of student achievement should be supported by tools that are flexible enough to fit all teaching styles and approaches, yet structured enough to meet a department’s or institution’s strategic goals.

Quizzes, Tests and Surveys Reduce in-class time spent on quizzes, and eliminate tedious multiple-choice grading – the results of all objective assessments are automatically reported to the Gradebook Deploy tests with whatever parameters you wish, within a wide matrix of options Create question pools to share test banks with colleagues, and facilitate test reuse Implement anonymous surveys (now with Likert scale questions!)

Collect Assignments Provide an easy way for students to submit written work online, and use a suite of utilities to facilitate management of all that material Check for plagiarism via a Blackboard Building Block partner

Review Student Outcomes View or download responses and analysis for quizzes, tests, surveys and assignments Sort the gradebook by category, item, or student Leverage the Performance Dashboard for a snapshot of all activity, progress, and results from one student

Manage and Evaluate Grades Use a variety of scales, grade types, and category weighting Export the Gradebook to Excel for advanced calculations, analysis, charts, and mapping trends over time Export grades to other databases Grade discussion participation via a Blackboard Building Block partner
