  5. Development and Evaluation Project

  6. Potential of BB Collaborate to Enhance Accessible Distance Support:

  7. Outreach The University has a growing number of outreach, distance learning and partner institution students throughout the UK – and beyond. “Your students have changed. Change with them.” Blackboard’s marketing line for Collaborate.

  8. Method • Flipped Classroom model – materials provided in advance • 5 presenters: 2 Learning Technologists and 3 Learning Services • 40 minute session: PowerPoint presentation, application sharing, voting tool and Q&A via chat box.

  9. Steps to Academic Success

  10. ‘Finding Information for your Dissertation’ • Engage FoHSC Academicand embed pilot into a current programme • Steps to Academic Success : pilot sessions in Routemaster program. • Transnational Midwives

  11. Team members • Training • Face 2 Face to Online • Timing • Engagement with participants • Feedback

  12. What we Learned • You will need to know your material inside-out • You need to be comfortable within Collaborate – this only comes with experience • Managing the group – gauging their understanding and interest plus answering questions and permitting/encouraging interaction.

  13. For what areas of your work would/do you use a webinar tool like Blackboard Collaborate?

  14. responses • 1 Distance learners • 2 Literature Search sessions • 3 Academics enjoyed using it • 4 Partner Colleges

  15. We are only at the start of this journey!

  16. Planning • Practice • Support • Enjoy!

  17. We booked an IT room with no phone. • We didn’t ‘flip’ the classroom. • Used web share instead of application share – typing in boxes couldn’t be seen. • Forgot to switch off microphone so the video we were all watching echoed. • Student participating via mobile phone – mic picked up dog barking. • Chat set to ‘private’ so all went to one moderator’s chat box. • Moderator unable to hear despite successfully running audio wizard – volume slider was down. • Tutor was automatically a moderator but was not aware of this – switched off the recording halfway through the session (and later deleted the recording) plus took over application sharing… • Confusion over who should answer the question and whether verbal or typed.
