A member in staff is facing a challenge: He is offering an optional course in research methods to students across the Health and Social Sciences Facutly. There are potentially 4000 students who might be interested, but the room only holds 100 people.
The Solution: Using the Blackboard Group signup feature, the academic will initially offer two sessions with 100 pleaces booked on a first come first served basis. There is a third group acting as a waiting list. If there is enough additional demand, further sessions can be organised.

Blooming blogs
We are working with a member of staff from INTO who is asking students to reflect on their learning through a blog in Blackboard. They are also completing a learning matrix in Excel each week which asks them to self-assess against Blooms taxonomy for different areas of their learning. This matrix will help them to reflect on their learning.
The Matrices will be submitted to an assignment in Blackboard during weekly lab sessions. The plan is to layer the matrices for each student to show changes and development over time. Students will be encouraged to reflect in the blog using their mobiles at the end of classroom sessions.
