Did you know… that you can incorporate wikis and blogs within your courses in Blackboard? Using plug-ins that are available within Blackboard, you can create course wikis as well as small-group wikis. Management tools allow you to determine who can create posts, delete posts, and add comments on the wiki pages. Furthermore, student work in the wikis can be easily assessed and added to the gradebook. Course and group wikis can be used to promote collaboration and knowledge building within your courses. Blogs can also be created for the entire course, for small-groups, and for personal use. The blog tools allow students to easily post text, images and hyperlinks, and comment on each other's blog posts. Additionally, blogs can be set up as private journals accessible only by the student and instructor. And assessment of students' blog posts is easily accomplished through the gradebook. Tutorials on how to set up and manage wikis and blogs in Blackboard can be found in the Learning Objects catalog. Where do you find the Learning Objects catalog? You can access it in 2 ways: 1. Go to the My Regent portal at my.regent.edu and click on the Center for Teaching and Learning link. Under "Resource Links", click on "Learning Objects database". Or... 2. You can also access the Learning Objects database through Blackboard. Just click on the "Share" tab and then click on the "Learning Objects catalog" on the left side of the page. The Center for Teaching and Learning offers a variety of helpful tutorials and resources in the Learning Objects catalog, so please take a look at it today. Now you know! |
Our successful QEP roundtable demonstrated how diverse and complex the issue of global competence is. Our talented faculty dazzled us with their insights and perspectives, and challenged many preconceptions about what we may have thought about what it means to be a globally competent Christian leader. Now, we must focus on how our ideas about global competence translate into the classroom experience in meaningful ways. We need practical, interesting assignments, projects and ideas that will take us from theory into practice. It should be an exciting process, and we look forward to working with Dr. Corne Bekker, our QEP Director, as we establish some of the ways the QEP will affect the classroom here at Regent. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- CTL also publishes...
