Presenter: Ross Ward
Organisation: The University of Edinburgh
Description: Learning analytics is primarily focused on staff accessing student data to gauge performance, predict student outcomes, and make interventions where necessary. This session will provide an overview of the work that the University has done in researching and developing a bespoke learning analytics building block called, ‘Data for Students’ that allows students to access information about their course - using click counts and comparison of grades against the cohort. The session will report on the outputs of our initial pilot studies and feedback from staff and students who have used the tool.
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.

Blackboard Analytics for Learn: A recipe for successRichard Stals
So much of the current discussion around Learning Analytics seems to be caught up in the realm of Big Data that informs the top executives and decision makers who are shaping institution-wide strategies. While these kinds of topics need to be explored, truly significant and transformative uses of learning analytics can be had at the grassroots level of the teacher and student.
This session will look at how Edith Cowan University is using Blackboard Analytics for Learn to empower staff and students with their own data, allowing them to make informed and timely decisions in their own teaching and learning journeys.
We will explore how learning analytics data enables staff to do things like identify and support students at risk of disengaging from the course early, monitor how students are actually engaging in their course and collect real evidence on student interactions that informs a continual process of improvement in learning design and resources.

Presenters: Danny Monaghan & Peter Mella,
Organisation: University of Sheffield
Description: This session will describe how we created a programme to help and promote development of quality course material in Blackboard Learn, by creating an exemplary course programme based on Blackboard’s. We will show delegates how we started this process, and how we are attempting to create a small and self-sustaining community of academics who are actively looking to develop high quality course content that don’t require large scale support, by using the tools available in Learn rather than relying on a high level of technical knowledge or external software packages to create rich content. We will conclude by looking to the future, and show where we would like this work to take us.
How do we develop part-time distance teaching staff in best practices for usi...BlackboardEMEA
Designing appropriate online staff development for part-time distance teaching staff presents many challenges. Traditionally, much of what is learnt happens ‘on the job’, as staff try out new approaches or meet each other for a chat over coffee (Clus, 2011). In a geographically distributed institution such as The Open University, this sort of situated and social learning is unlikely to take place often, particularly for its part-time staff. In addition, staff often will have the time and motivation to participate only in development or training which is directly relevant to their own working practices and is very timely for them (Ottenbreit-Leftwich, 2010). To encourage staff to make the best use of technologies and to adopt them enthusiastically, we need to make development engaging and attractive. In this presentation we discuss how we address these challenges when designing and developing training and development opportunities in the use of Blackboard Collaborate for part-time distance teaching staff in
The Open University. An overview of the various resources and courses we have produced will be discussed, alongside participant perspectives. Our development pathways include experiential and peer learning in cohort groups, exploiting the potential of short online courses (Campbell & Macdonald, 2011), as well as supported self-study routes using online resources. Each of the development pathways we provide allows staff the opportunity to participate in shared reflection, fostering a sense of community (Baran and Correia, 2014; Perry and Edwards, 2009). As well as these main development pathways, ongoing support, for those not presently participating in one of our development pathways, is provided through online communities of practice (Kear, 2011).

Description: In 2013 Sheffield Hallam University approved a set of minimum expectations which outlined what should be on each Blackboard course. In preparation for these expectations becoming policy in 2015, we hired graduate interns to review every taught module (over 3000) and create reports about how well they meet the expectations.
During this session we will explain how the minimum expectations were developed. We will describe the review process, highlighting challenges faced and providing recommendations for others. We will share some high level findings of the reviews and example anonymised reports at different levels (e.g module, departmental, faculty). Finally we will explain how we are using the reviews to inform staff development and the feedback we have gotten on the reviews so far.

On the other hand, online examinations under controlled conditions can be unviable for large student cohorts due to pressures on the real estate of the institution.
This session will showcase a number of innovative initiatives that are enabling us to create sustainable authentic assessments and very flexible online examinations.
We will bring a number of mobile devices to the session, so that attendees will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the solutions we have developed, actively participating during the session.

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) essentially advocates for a research approach to be applied to the improvement of learning and teaching. It encourages teachers to reflect in a scholarly way on their teaching practice and at the more advanced level to undertake research on teaching practice and curriculum. Learning analytics has the potential to provide data on elements of the teaching process which have to date been difficult to measure particularly for the broader cohort of teachers.
This presentation will draw attention to the connection between SoTL and learning analytics and prompt participants to think about how learning analytics can be used in a wider context to contribute to changes in teaching design and practice.

Presenter: Christine Lippens
Organisation: Universiteit Antwerpen
Description: It is often a challenge to educators to offer high quality assignments and quizzes in the context of blended learning. As a rule, intra-term assigments do not generate a lot of student engagement or enthusiasm, unless they match what students can expect on their actual final exam. And even if this is the case, additional incentives are often needed to ensure student participation. Over the past 5 years, Antwerp University has been succesfull in implementing technology driven solutions to achieve this, with degrees of participation exceeding 90% and significant improvement in exam results, without having to compromise on academic content.
The document discusses various technologies that can be used to improve food resources, including different types of fertilization methods, using agricultural machinery, developing high-yielding seed varieties, irrigation systems, and pest control techniques like pesticides. When used properly, these technologies can increase soil productivity, allow multiple harvests per year, and help maximize food production. However, pesticides require careful use as pests can develop resistance over time.
30 elementary, middle, and high school students came together to animate their ideas in front of a live audience in a series of short and inspiring talks. The concept of the Nspire Talks is a charity event to give kids the stage and microphone to add their voice to the collective conversation and inspire others. Speeches are no more than five minutes and cover a wide range of topics. All talks answered the question: "What's your vision for ...?"

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted via the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms typically include fever and headache and can progress to coma and death in severe cases. While not directly transmissible between humans, malaria can be transmitted through blood transfusions or shared needles. Resistance to malaria is conferred by certain red blood cell polymorphisms that are common in highly endemic regions. Control methods include removing mosquito breeding sites, insecticide spraying, and prompt treatment with antimalarial drugs.

Bringing together internal and external students on Blackboard - Brett Fyfiel...Blackboard APAC
With the recent redevelopment of postgraduate courses in project management for the School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment, new challenges were faced to make units more inclusive of a variety of enrolment preferences. The short term ambitions for the courses included developing units that are delivered both facetoface, and entirely online and have the potential to be scaled to meet the growing demand for continuing professional education. To ensure that students could join either facetoface or online offerings of the same units, the implementation team brought internal and external cohorts together on the same unit sites on Blackboard. The units are currently under evaluation but some early learnings may provide insight into new approaches to blended learning, and how these approaches have facilitated new ways of teaching and learning through tentative academic culture change.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Plans for the Future
• Use of Tableau for data visualization
• Shorter evaluations
• Evaluation sampling

Editor's Notes
The College of Medicine at University of Illinois at Chicago hired their first instructional designer (ID) in December 2013. An ongoing project since then for the ID has been to review educational materials for every lecture for the first two years of the four-year medical program, using evidence-based quality control and multimedia research principles as guides. Qualitative and quantitative data from student evaluations help to round out the feedback given to the teaching faculty. There has been some improvement in the creation or redesign of educational materials based on these reviews, which has been noted by students. Many faculty members have not implemented suggestions given by the ID, and the reasons are still unclear. There seem to be barriers for faculty to adopt innovative teaching methodologies and instructional technologies where appropriate. The ID is investigating why these barriers exist and how to help faculty to overcome them. As it is an ongoing project, this will serve as a preliminary set of findings.
One of the most popular instructional systems design framework is the ADDIE model. It appears to be linear but it does not have to be followed rigidly. There are also many variations on this model. Some layers are skipped because information is already available - for example, that you can only deliver a lecture or module in one format. This is not a theory per se! It can be used as a project template with any of the learning theories you use.
This is the “delivery’ of the most popular lecture of the year, on Toxins and Poisons.
Some things to keep in mind during the analysis phase:
The course needs to be relevant to the learner
Spend time with learners in their environment
Be a bridge between the creator and learners
Put the context in context
Measure the effectiveness of the learning activities
More of how the design prototype went - this example is from the Medical Genetics course.
In this example, I worked with the Medical Genetics instructor to learn how to use the Explain Everything app on his iPad in order to create videos that are specific to a salient point. These videos were no longer than 15 minutes.
The bullet points are “typical” tasks for this part of the model. In terms of developing and programming, I am really neither so fortunately Explain Everything makes this part much easier.
This is an example of a mashup of content in the Medical Anatomy and Embryology course. I also worked with course directors in Cell & Tissue Biology and even some of the clerkship directors to incorporate quizzing into their courses via Blackboard.
Talk about use of discussion boards.
There has been a lot of recent research on using multimedia design principles in teaching for understanding in medical classrooms. Richard Mayer is one author that I follow.
Effective Use of Educational Technology in Medical Education Colloquium on Educational Technology: Recommendations and Guidelines for Medical Educators
AAMC Institute for Improving Medical Education
March 2007
Because the overall technology topic is so broad, colloquium participants were charged to focus consideration on interactive instructional and assessment applications: namely, those that teach or assess understanding of biomedical concepts, patient diagnosis and management, and procedural skill training. Resources with little interactivity— such as those that only enable basic learner navigation of text and images—were considered less relevant to the colloquium’s scope. Likewise, the group did not discuss delivery systems such as teaching management systems (e.g., BlackBoard), pod-casting, computer-based testing, digitized lecture dissemination, and distance learning.
Notably, this report highlights the essential role of instructional design principles to promote the effective use of educational technology.
When I came on board in December 2013, the first task I was given was to go over all of the course-level and instructor-level evaluation material for the previous academic year. Because they have never had anyone in my role before, not a lot was done with this evaluation information. So, if an instructor got low marks year after year, they might still be allowed to teach - no one was minding the store. As I reviewed the evaluations, I watched parts of Echo360 lecture recordings for that instructor to see if I could figure out to what they students were referring in their quantitative comments.
Another big part of this analysis phase was to partner with someone in the Department of Medical Education. We interviewed each of the 15 course directors to find out very broadly, what was working in their courses, what was not, and how could they use UGME and me as ID? Feedback: they needed assistants or coordinators. Many of the instructors were managing multiple teaching faculty members, as well as managing the uploading of content into Blackboard and assessment data.
LCME Standard 6.3 is Self-Directed and Life-Long Learning
In a nutshell:
Identify, analyze, and synthesize information relevant to their learning needs
Assess the credibility of information sources
Share the information with their peers and supervisors
Receive feedback on their information-seeking skills
To me, including the medical librarian in these conversations is crucial.
Readings:
Pros: low-cost, little preparation time
Cons: Passive, self-motivation required
Lecture:
Pros: low-cost, accommodates large number of learners, structured presentation of complex topics
Cons: Passive, teacher centered, quality of lecture is highly dependent on speaker and A/V materials
Discussion:
Pros: Active learning, learners apply newly acquired knowledge, suitable for higher order cognitive levels
Cons: More faculty intensive, group and facilitator dependent
Reflection:
Pros: Promotes learning from experiences as well as self-awareness / mindfulness, can be built into discussion activities
Cons:
Small group:
Pros: Active learning, more multidisciplinary, encourages cooperation, teamwork & discussion
Cons: faculty facilitators (or experienced facilitators), time
TBL:
Pros: Active learning, higher cognitive levels, students take responsibility for learning, collaborative
Cons: Self-direction, need to orient students to process of teamwork and peer evaluation
Standardized Patients:
Pros:
While this is not an exhaustive list, I’m going to attempt to tie-in lecture capture / ad hoc capture to most of them…and how we used it to achieve improvement in student satisfaction in the classroom.
When I came back to UIC in late 2013 and started working for the college of medicine, one of the many first tasks I took on was to help find a way to make the Blackboard shells more consistent. Students have long complained that it was difficulty to find content they were looking for, in different courses. Some courses would have a syllabus tab and others would have a syllabus under some other tab. This drove not only the students crazy, but also any additional teaching faculty who might teach for more than one course.
While lectures are low-cost and can accommodate larger numbers of learners, it is also a very passive way to deliver information. The center of attention is on the teacher. The quality of the lecture also depends largely on the speaker and their a/v materials.
With the best practices in place, observations of teaching can be more specific and honed to each lecturer.
Evidence shows that engaging students in active learning enhances their learning outcomes and improves their motivation and attitudes.
