This week’s tips and updates include: online collaboration via blogs, discussions, journals and wikis; creating quick, reusable videos with Kaltura; and student resources.

Online Collaboration via Blogs, Discussions, Journals and Wikis

Interested in developing some online collaboration in your courses? Not sure about the differences between Wikis, Blogs, Discussions and Journals? The eLearning Office has a video that explores the differences between those tools and techniques to leverage them in Blackboard. Watch the video.

Creating Quick, Reusable Videos with Kaltura

Kaltura is a desktop recording tool that helps you create, caption, edit and share lecture recording videos for your students. Video assignment and quiz will also be featured as alternative evaluation methods you can use to assess your students. Watch the video.

Student Resources

The eLearning Office has a whole playlist of Blackboard support videos for students. These videos were created to answer the most common questions we get from learners:

  • Finding and accessing courses in Blackboard
  • How to navigate a course
  • How do I stay up to date in Blackboard?
  • How do I communicate with my instructor?
  • How do I access recorded lectures?
  • … and more!
