Mae’r gosodiadau ar gyfer profion yn Blackboard Ultra wedi newid yn Blackboard Ultra ac mae’r trefniadau ar gyfer cynnal arholiad wedi’u diweddaru eleni.
Dyma’r prif newidiadau:
Gallwch greu un cȏd mynediad yn unig ar gyfer eich arholiad o flaen llaw. Caiff y cȏd hwn ei greu’n awtomatig ar ffurf cȏd rhifiadol 6 digid, pan fyddwch yn dewis yr opsiwn ‘angen cȏd mynediad’ i opsiwn addass ar gyfer pob arholiad ar-lein wyneb yn wyneb.
Disgwylir i’r cydlynwyr modiwlau fynychu’r arholiad wyneb yn wyneb ar gyfer eu modiwl (am y 30 munud cyntaf). Os nad yw’n bosibl bod yn bresennol, dylid trefnu eilydd. Mae bod yn gorfforol bresennol ar gyfer yr arholiad yn galluogi cydlynwyr y Modiwl i gynhyrchu ail gȏd mynediad 30 munud ar ôl i’r arholiadau ddechrau ac i gylchredeg y cȏd hwn gyda’r tîm arholiadau.
Gall cydlynwyr modiwlau gysylltu â’r swyddfa arholiadau trwy eosstaff@aber.ac.uk cyn diwrnod yr arholiad i ddarganfod pa staff goruchwylio fydd yn bresennol yn ystod eu harholiad i gadw cofnod o’u henwau a’u henwau defnyddiwr.
Rydym wedi paratoi canllawaiau newydd sy’n esbonio’r newidiadau’n llawn: Profion Blackboard ar gyfer Arholiadau Wyneb yn Wyneb. Byddai’n werth clustnodi amser peneodol i ddarllen ac ymgyfarwyddo gyda’r canllawiau wrth i chi barartoi’ch prawf. Gweler isod y gosodiadau prawf yn Blackboard ar gyfer creu cȏd mynediad i’ch arholiad ar-lein:
Yn sgȋl y newidiadau hyn, mae’r tȋm E-ddysgu yn cynnal sesiynau hyfforddi newydd ar ‘Baratoi am Arholiadau Ar-lein’, ar 5 a 11 Rhagfyr. Gellir archebu lle ar Sesiynau Hyfforddiant DPP.
Bydd y tȋm e-ddysgu ar gael i wiro gosodiadau eich prawf rhwng 4 a 20 Rhagfyr 2023. Cofiwch, nad ydym yn gallu gwiro eich prawf heb amser neu ddyddiad wedi’i gadarnhau.
Cysylltwch gyda eddysgu@aber.ac.uk os oes gennych gwestiynau pellach ar brofion Blackboard.
Test settings have changed in Blackboard Ultra and the arrangements for conducting an exam have also been updatedthis year.
These are the main changes:
Only one random access code may be generated prior to the test. This code is automatically generated in the form of a 6-digit numerical code when you check the ‘Access code required’ option, which will be the case for ALL online in-person Exams using BB tests.
Module coordinators will attend the face-to-face examination for their module (for the first 30 minutes). If it is not possible to attend, arrange a substitute. Being physically present for the examination enables the Module coordinators to generate a second access code 30 minutes after the exams starts and to circulate this code with the exam team.
Module coordinators can liaise with the exams office via eosstaff@aber.ac.uk prior to exam day to discover which invigilating staff will be in attendance during their exam and collate their names and usernames.
We have prepared new guidance which explains these changes fully: Blackboard Tests for In-person Exams Guide. It’s an idea to set aside enough time to prepare the test and read the new guidance.
Due to these changes, the E-learning team will be offering additional training sessions on ‘Preparing for Online Exams’ on 5 and 11 December. Register for the training on: CPD Staff Training.
There is also an updated FAQ on Blackboard with more information on creating Blackboard tests for online exams. If you require further assistance with your test, the E-learning team are available on Teams Sessions. Contact to elearning@aber.ac.uk to arrange a session.
The E-learning team will be available to check yout test settings before the exam period between 4-20 December 2023. Remember,we are unable to check your test settings without a confirmed date or time.
Contact us if you have any queries regarding Blackboard tests on elearning@aber.ac.uk.
Fel arweinydd ein rhaglen TUAAU, rwy’n cadw llygad allan am adnoddau i helpu staff i addysgu’n effeithiol. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys gweminarau, podlediadau, pecynnau cymorth ar-lein, cyhoeddiadau a mwy. Mae’r pynciau’n cynnwys dysgu gweithredol, addysgu ar-lein/cyfunol, hygyrchedd/cynhwysiant, a dylunio dysgu effeithiol yn seiliedig ar wyddoniaeth wybyddol. Rwyf wedi rhestru isod eitemau y sylwais arnynt yn ystod yr wythnos ddiwethaf. Er mwyn eglurder, ein polisi yw dangos y teitlau a’r disgrifiadau yn yr iaith y cyflwynir yr adnoddau ynddi.

Hoffai’r Uned Datblygu Dysgu ac Addysgu dynnu sylw at bump o welliannau i Hyfforddwyr yn niweddariad Blackboard Learn Ultra ym mis Tachwedd. Mae’r gwelliannau hyn mewn tri maes:
Gwneud eich cynnwys yn fwy gweledol.
Diweddariadau i Brofion.
Rheoli eich Llyfr Graddau.
Gwneud eich cynnwys yn fwy gweledol:
1. Opsiwn Mewnosod Delwedd ar gyfer Dogfennau Ultra, Cyfnodolion, Trafodaethau, Ymdrechion Asesu, a Chyrsiau.
Mae delweddau’n chwarae rhan bwysig ym mhrofiad addysg myfyriwr. Mae delweddau’n helpu i wella dealltwriaeth o gynnwys y cwrs a’r ymgysylltiad ag ef. Er mwyn helpu hyfforddwyr i adnabod delweddau o ansawdd uchel yn haws, mae Blackboard wedi ychwanegu botwm delwedd newydd yn y golygydd cynnwys yn y mannau canlynol:
Dogfennau Ultra
Ysgogiadau cyfnodolion
Trafodaethau
Negeseuon Cyrsiau
Llun isod: Gwedd hyfforddwr – botwm delwedd newydd ar olygydd cynnwys ar gyfer Dogfennau Ultra.
Pan gaiff ei ddewis, mae gan yr hyfforddwr yr opsiynau canlynol:
Uwchlwytho delwedd trwy ddewis neu lusgo a gollwng.
Dewis delwedd heb freindal, o ansawdd uchel o Unsplash.
Gall myfyrwyr hefyd gyrchu’r botwm delwedd newydd ar y golygydd cynnwys yn y meysydd canlynol:
Ymatebion trafodaeth.
Asesiadau a mewnbynnu cwestiynau prawf.
Negeseuon Cyrsiau.
Llun isod: Gwedd myfyrwyr – botwm delwedd newydd ar olygydd cynnwys ar gyfer ymateb i drafodaeth.
Llun isod: Gwedd myfyrwyr – Llusgo a gollwng neu uwchlwytho ffeil delwedd.
Ar ôl dewis y ddelwedd, gall hyfforddwyr a myfyrwyr ail-leoli ffocws a chwyddiad y ddelwedd. Mae yna opsiwn hefyd i newid cymhareb wynebwedd y ddelwedd.
Llun isod: Addasu chwyddiad a ffocws y ddelwedd; gosod cymhareb yr wynebwedd.
Gall defnyddwyr ailenwi’r ddelwedd. Mae’n bwysig ystyried hygyrchedd cynnwys cwrs bob amser. Dylai’r defnyddiwr farcio’r ddelwedd fel addurniadol neu ddarparu testun amgen addas.
Gall hyfforddwyr hefyd osod y wedd a lawrlwytho opsiynau ffeil ar gyfer y ddelwedd. Ar ôl i’r ddelwedd gael ei mewnosod, gall yr hyfforddwr newid maint y ddelwedd.
Diweddariadau i Brofion:
2. Golygu/Ailraddio mewn Cwestiynau
Gall hyfforddwyr sylwi ar gamgymeriad mewn cwestiwn prawf wrth raddio cyflwyniad prawf. Er enghraifft, efallai bod hyfforddwyr wedi dod o hyd i gamsillafu, wedi dewis ateb anghywir, neu eisiau addasu pwyntiau.
Yn y gorffennol, roedd y dewis “Edit / Regrade Quesetions” ar gael wrth raddio cyflwyniadau gan “Fyfyriwr.” yn unig. Nawr, gall hyfforddwyr hefyd gael mynediad i’r llif gwaith Edit/Regrade wrth raddio yn ôl cwestiwn.
Llun isod: Gwedd hyfforddwr – opsiwn Edit/Regrade wrth raddio prawf yn ôl cwestiwn.
Llun isod: Gwedd hyfforddwr – golygu cwestiwn gan ddefnyddio’r opsiwn Edit/Regrade.
3. Diweddariadau i gwestiynau sy’n cyfateb: dosbarthu credyd rhannol yn awtomatig a diweddariadau eraill
Mae cwestiynau sy’n cyfateb yn ddefnyddiol ar gyfer profi sgiliau myfyriwr wrth wneud cysylltiadau cywir rhwng cysyniadau cysylltiedig. Mae’r math hwn o gwestiwn hefyd yn gwirio dealltwriaeth myfyrwyr mewn fformat strwythuredig.
Er mwyn gwobrwyo myfyrwyr sy’n dangos dealltwriaeth rannol, mae rhai hyfforddwyr yn dymuno dyfarnu credyd rhannol a/neu negyddol am gwestiynau sy’n cyfateb.
Yn y gorffennol, dewisodd hyfforddwyr opsiwn sgorio:
caniatáu credyd rhannol.
y cyfan neu ddim byd.
tynnu pwyntiau ar gyfer cyfatebiadau anghywir, ond ni all sgôr cwestiwn fod yn negyddol.
neu ganiatáu sgôr cwestiwn negyddol.
Roedd yr opsiynau hyn yn gyfyngedig ac, ar adegau, yn creu dryswch i hyfforddwyr.
Nawr, mae credyd rhannol a negyddol yn cael ei droi ymlaen yn ddiofyn. Mae Blackboard yn awto-ddosbarthu credyd rhannol fel canran ar draws y parau cyfatebol. Mae awto-ddosbarthu credyd yn arbed amser i hyfforddwyr. Gall hyfforddwyr olygu’r gwerthoedd credyd rhannol os oes angen i roi mwy neu lai o gredyd i rai parau. Rhaid i’r gwerthoedd ar gyfer credyd rhannol ddod i gyfanswm o 100%.
Os dymunir, gall hyfforddwyr hefyd nodi canran credyd negyddol i unrhyw bâr. Asesir credyd negyddol pan gaiff ei gymhwyso a phan fydd myfyriwr yn camgyfatebu pâr yn unig. Os dymunir, gall hyfforddwyr ddewis caniatáu sgôr negyddol cyffredinol ar gyfer y cwestiwn.
Rydym hefyd wedi gwneud rhai gwelliannau eraill i’r cwestiwn hwn:
Ail-eiriodd Blackboard y canllawiau adeiladu cwestiynau a’i symud i swigen wybodaeth.
Yn y gorffennol, roedd y dewisiadau ‘Ailddefnyddio ateb’ a “Dileu pâr” y tu ôl i’r ddewislen tri dot. Nawr, mae’r opsiynau hyn yn ymddangos ar ochr dde’r ateb ar gyfer pob pâr.
O’r blaen roedd atebion a ailddefnyddiwyd yn ymddangos fel “Reused answer from pair #” yn y maes ateb. Nawr, mae’r ateb ei hun yn cael ei arddangos yn y maes ateb. ‘Reused answer’ o dan yr ateb i’r pâr.
Llun isod: Cynllun newydd ar gyfer cwestiwn sy’n cyfateb
Rheoli eich Llyfr Graddau:
4. Gwelliannau i berfformiad gwedd grid y Llyfr Graddau
Mae’n well gan rai hyfforddwyr weithio yng ngwedd grid y llyfr graddau. Er mwyn gwella profiad y defnyddiwr, gwnaethom sawl gwelliant i’r wedd hon. Mae’r gwelliannau hyn yn mynd i’r afael â pherfformiad cyffredinol ac yn lleihau’r amser llwytho.
Senarios profi perfformiad:
25K o gofrestriadau myfyrwyr a 400 o eitemau graddadwy: Amser llwytho wedi gostwng o 108 eiliad (tua 2 funud) i 14 eiliad (gwella perfformiad o 87%)
2000 o gofrestriadau myfyrwyr a 400 o eitemau graddadwy: Amser llwytho wedi gostwng o 19 eiliad i 8 eiliad (gwella perfformiad o 57%)
40 o fyfyrwyr a 400 o eitemau graddadwy: Amser llwytho wedi gostwng o 8 eiliad i 6.8 eiliad (gwella perfformiad o 14.75%)
5. Trefnu rheolyddion ar gyfer Enw Myfyrwyr, Gradd Gyffredinol, Asesiadau, a Cholofnau â Llaw yn y wedd grid.
I ddefnyddio’r wedd grid cliciwch toglo a’r botwm ‘list view’
Mae dewisiadau trefnu yn y llyfr graddau yn darparu profiad graddio mwy effeithlon.
Nawr gall hyfforddwyr ddidoli’r colofnau gwedd grid llyfr graddau canlynol:
Enw’r Myfyriwr
Gradd Gyffredinol
Profion ac Aseiniadau
Colofnau â llaw
Gall hyfforddwyr drefnu cofnodion mewn trefn wrth esgynnol neu ddisgynnol a chael gwared ar unrhyw ddull didoli presennol. Mae amlygu porffor ym mhennawd y golofn yn helpu hyfforddwyr i nodi lle mae’r didoli ar waith.
Mae unrhyw ddull didoli a gymhwysir yn esgor ar newid dros dro i drefn didoli pob colofn yng ngwedd grid y llyfr graddau.
Llun isod: Trefnu asesiad yn y wedd grid gyda hidlwyr wedi’u cymhwyso.
The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit would like to highlight five enhancements for Instructors from the November Blackboard Learn Ultra Update. These enhancements are in three areas:
Making your content more visual using Images.
Updates to Tests.
Managing your Gradebook.
Making your content more visual using images:
1. Image insertion option for Ultra Documents, Journals, Discussions, Assessment attempts, and Courses
Images play an important role in a student’s education experience. Images help to enhance comprehension of and engagement with course content. To help instructors more easily identify high-quality images, Blackboard have added a new image button in the content editor in the following places:
Ultra Documents
Journal prompts
Discussions
Course Messages
Image below: Instructor view – New image button on content editor for Ultra Documents.
When selected, the instructor has the following options:
Upload an image through selection or drag and drop.
Select a royalty-free, high-quality image from Unsplash.
Students can also access the new image button on the content editor in the following areas:
Discussion responses.
Assessments and test question inputs.
Course Messages.
Image below: Student view – New image button on content editor for discussion response.
Image below: Student view – Drag and drop or upload an image file.
After selecting the image, instructors and students can reposition the focus and zoom of the image. There’s also an option to alter the aspect ratio of the image.
Image below: Modify the zoom and focus of the image; set the aspect ratio.
Users can rename the image. It is important always to consider the accessibility of course content. The user should mark the image as decorative or provide suitable alternative text.
Instructors can also set the view and download file options for the image. After the image is inserted, the instructor can resize the image.
Updates to Tests:
2. Edit/Regrade in Questions
Instructors may spot a mistake in a test question when grading a test submission. For example, instructors may have found a typo, chosen a wrong answer, or wanted to adjust points.
In the past, the “Edit/Regrade Questions” option was only available when grading submissions by “Student.” Now, instructors can also access the Edit/Regrade workflow when grading by question.
Image below: Instructor view – Edit/Regrade option when grading a test by question.
Image below: Instructor view – editing a question using the Edit/Regrade option.
3. Matching question updates: partial credit auto-distribution and other updates
Matching questions are useful for testing a student’s skill in making accurate connections between related concepts. This question type also checks students’ understanding in a structured format.
To reward students who show partial understanding, some instructors wish to award partial and/or negative credit for matching questions.
In the past, instructors selected a scoring option:
allow partial credit.
all or nothing.
subtract points for incorrect matches, but question score can’t be negative.
or allow negative question scores.
These options were exclusive and, at times, created confusion for instructors.
Now, partial and negative credit is turned on by default. Blackboard auto-distributes partial credit as a percentage across the matching pairs. The auto-distribution of credit saves instructors time. Instructors can edit the partial credit values if needed to grant some pairs more or less credit. Values for partial credit must sum to 100%.
If desired, instructors may also specify a negative credit percentage to any pair. Negative credit is only assessed when applied and when a student mismatches a pair. If desired, instructors may choose to allow an overall negative score for the question.
We also made a few other improvements to this question:
Blackboard re-worded the question construction guidance and moved it to an info bubble.
In the past, the “reuse an answer” and “delete pair” options were behind the three-dot menu. Now, these options appear on the right side of the answer for each pair.
Before reused answers appeared as “Reused answer from pair #” in the answer field. Now, the answer itself is displayed in the answer field. “Reused answer” appears beneath the answer for the pair.
“Additional answers” renamed to “Distractors.”
Image below: New Matching question layout.
Managing your Gradebook:
4. Gradebook grid view performance improvements
Some instructors prefer to work in the gradebook grid view. To improve the user experience, we made several improvements to this view. These improvements address overall performance and reduce the load time.
Performance tested scenarios:
25K student enrolments and 400 gradable items: Load time reduced from 108 s (about 2 minutes) to 14s (87% performance improvement)
2000 student enrolments and 400 gradable items: Load time reduced from 19s to 8s (57% performance improvement)
40 students and 400 gradable items: Load time reduced from 8s to 6.8s (14.75% performance improvement)
5. Sorting controls for Student Name, Overall Grade, Assessments, and Manual Columns in grid view.
To use the grid view click the toggle grid and list view button:
Sorting options in the gradebook provide a more efficient grading experience.
Now instructors can sort the following gradebook grid view columns:
Student Name
Overall Grade
Tests and Assignments
Manual columns
Instructors can sort records in ascending or descending and remove any applied sorting. A purple highlight in the column header helps instructors identify where sorting is applied.
Any sorting applied yields a temporary change to the sort order of all columns in the gradebook grid view.
Image below: Sorting an assessment in the grid view with filters applied.
