  1. On-line Course Delivery Options – Blackboard, WebCT, eCollege or Build Your Own - A Panel DiscussionOn-line Using eCollegeOn-Ground Supplement Using Blackboard By John H. Reynolds, Ph.D., CCP Grand Valley State University

  2. eCollege Course Background • 6 sections taught from 2000-2002 • Limit of 25 students per section • No direct contact with students • All exams “open book” • All assignments were homework

  3. eCollege Course Main Page

  4. eCollege Reflections • Unit structure difficult to use • No export function for grade book • Access time very slow • Unsupervised tests/homework encourages academic dishonesty • 11 of 44 students copied database assignments in Summer 2002 course – all given Fs (all but one upheld on academic appeal)

  5. Blackboard Course Background • 8 sections each year over 3 years • Courses ranged from intro to graduate • Advanced courses utilized groups function • Used for in-class tests • Digital Drop-Box used for assignments • Student files posted – convenient access

  6. Blackboard Control Panel

  7. Blackboard Course Reflections • Digital Drop Box has confusing menu and no ability to sort/organize contents • Control Panel easy to use • Customizable Menu Options • Performance depends on whether server is housed on campus or outsourced • Students like the convenience of files/assignments available 24/7

  8. Respondus BB – test utility

  9. Respondus BB Reflections • Great utility to convert Test files from text format for import into Blackboard • Defaults to “A” as the correct answer when the answer is not specified in the text file • Import is very easy to do and is very quick • No more cumbersome importing or typing of test banks in Blackboard
