View all the Teaching & Learning Centre Spark Plugs!
by Karen Spiers, Manager in the Teaching & Learning Centre
The Teaching & Learning Centre Team has developed a Learn@Seneca Blackboard Ultra course template to ensure a consistent learning experience for students, which includes information and links to student resources, as well as guidelines to help faculty and instructors. We have also created a video series for students to demonstrate how to navigate the Learn@Seneca Blackboard Ultra interface, including submitting assignments, viewing grades and feedback, and using discussions and calendars.
A course template has been developed and will be made available to all faculty. This template is designed to ensure a consistent student experience across Seneca and includes information and links to student resources as well as instructions for creating course information/details for faculty and instructors.
Student Blackboard Ultra Resources links to a video playlist that will demonstrate for students how to navigate and perform various tasks in Learn@Seneca.
Seneca Student Resources includes helpful links and information for students in one document making it easier than ever to locate important resources.
Instructions for Creating Course Information/Details (Read Me) contains all the information faculty need include in their Course Information/Details document with tips and suggested best practices to ensure a consistent student experience across Seneca.
Course Information/Details contains a sample land acknowledgement, along with three sections of information for faculty and instructors to complete such as Faculty Contact Information, Course Information/Details, and space for Course Orientation information.
Faculty and instructors are encouraged to use this template to guide them in creating a consistent course learning experience that aligns with Seneca’s Minimum Requirements Policy, the Standards of Practice, and the Quality Framework.
The Teaching & Learning Centre Team has created a video series for students demonstrating how easy it is to navigate the Learn@Seneca Blackboard Ultra interface. There are currently eight videos in the playlist that highlight everything from navigating the Learn@Seneca Blackboard Ultra interface to how to submit assignments, view grades and feedback, and using a discussion and the calendar.
