Blackboard Student Preview

1 Comment / Blackboard, Uncategorized /

As a Blackboard instructor you need to be certain that your course is accessible, well designed and that all of the links work as intended. The “Student Preview” option (outlined in the image below in red) gives you the functionality to be able to view your course in the same manner that a student would see it. The Preview function can be particularly useful for ensuring that hidden files or folders have been deployed appropriately, submitting assignments, or for instructors taking multiple choice tests in order to make sure they work as intended.

Remember that if you cannot see course content in student preview, then your students won’t be able to see it either.

Please watch the short video below showing the Student Preview feature.

ALT West Midlands Regional Meeting

Leave a Comment / Training /

\"ALTWM\"The latest ALTWM meeting took place on 28th November, 2019 with over 20 attendees from across the region and beyond.

The theme of the meeting was “working together to design modules” and we heard from representatives from the University of Birmingham, the University of Northampton, Aston University and Warwick Business School about a range of innovative projects around learning and curriculum design.

There was plenty of networking and discussion between presentations and the afternoon was rounded off by an introduction and practical exercise based on the ABC Learning Design methodology, led by Adam Warren, Teaching Fellow in TEL from Aston University.

The next meeting will be taking place in the spring next year and we’re looking for suggestions for themes and volunteers to host.
