We\u2019re excited to announce a new Distance Learner Forum for staff. These Forums are specifically aimed at those who deliver Distance Learning teaching or are considering delivering via Distance Learning in the future.<\/p>\n
The Distance Learner Forum was established at this year\u2019s Annual Learning and Teaching Conference.<\/a> Book your place on these courses online<\/a>.<\/p>\n This year there are 3 Distance Learning Forums:<\/p>\n Tuesday 22nd<\/sup> October 2019, 1pm-2pm, E3 E-learning Training Room<\/p>\n In the first of these special Distance Learner Forums we will be looking at how you measure student engagement with learning activities in Blackboard. Blackboard has many different types of learning opportunities and activities. In this session, we will be looking at how we can measure student engagement with Blackboard for Distance Learning students.<\/p>\n Tuesday 18th<\/sup> February 2020, 1pm-2pm, E3 E-learning Training Room<\/p>\n In the second of our Distance Learner Forums, we will be looking at Creating Podcasts. Podcasts are a great way to keep your students engaged with the content that you are creating as well as giving them opportunities to build activities into the podcasts. We\u2019ll look at successful podcast design whilst also looking at the practicalities for creating your podcast and embedding it into your Blackboard course.<\/p>\n Tuesday 26th<\/sup> May 2020, 1pm-2pm, E3 E-learning Training Room<\/p>\n In the third of our Distance Learner Forums, we will be looking at how you can gauge student opinion from a distance. We\u2019ll discuss and present strategies on how to allow distance learning students to feel part of a community and also to learn from each other. We\u2019ll introduce activities that can be done in Blackboard to support this as well as other technologies such as online polling and Skype for Business.<\/p>\n We hope that you\u2019ll be able to attend these forums.
