Help Us Improve the Student Experience of Blackboard Ultra: Encourage your Students to Participate in a Focus Group!
The TEL Unit are excited to share an upcoming opportunity for students to shape the future of Blackboard Ultra at the University. To ensure the VLE continues to support effective teaching and learning, we’re hosting a series of student focus groups—and we’d love your help spreading the word.
What’s the Goal?
The focus group’s aim is to gather student insights on improving how Blackboard Ultra is used. Their feedback will guide key developments, including:
- Creating best practice recommendations for module design.
- Enhancing the structure and usability of Blackboard Ultra modules.
- Ensuring the VLE better supports the overall learning experience.
Why Should Students Get Involved?
We know from student feedback that the way the VLE is used has a direct impact on their learning experiences. This is a unique opportunity for students to ensure the VLE is developed in ways that support their needs as learners. Their voices will shape how Blackboard Ultra is used, benefitting both current and future cohorts. Plus, they’ll enjoy a relaxed environment with free tea, coffee, and biscuits!
