technologies learning opportunities available summer, fall
From
Information Resources and Technologies Summer
2007 has brought exciting changes and enhancements to Blackboard,
such as the content system, ePortfolios, blogs, wikis, and
new features for the discussion board and the assessments
tool. IRT
has been busy preparing to help our Blackboard community by
enhancing our support resources as well. As we look to
our fall semester,
IRT would like to provide instructors opportunities to examine
and learn about these new features, through classroom training,
documentation and instructional videos. We
invite you to take advantage of the following learning opportunities.
Don’t forget you can also contact your academic technology
consultant for help with your instructional technology questions.

Documentation
and instructional videos
Looking
for some Blackboard resources to explore on your own? We’ve
updated many of the documentation pieces and instructional videos
found on the IRT
Blackboard support page.
We
have help sheets and documentation to help you get started with
designing a basic
Blackboard course, as well as using specific
tools such as the assignment manager and the discussion board.
We’ve also added materials for the content system, the ePortfolio
tool, blogs and wikis. These are great resources if you simply
want to read and learn about these tools and their potential applications.
For
those who would like to see specific Blackboard tools and
features in action, pour a cup of coffee, put on a headset,
and view some of our instructional videos. Topics are 10 minutes
or less, and you can view them at your leisure, from your office
or from home.
