eLearning tips

If you have multiple eLearning sections that contain the same content, you’ll want to take advantage of some of the Bb Learn 9 features that prevent you from completely having to duplicate your efforts. Options are available to copy the course (primarily for use before the semester starts) and for copying individual items from one course to another (available for some but not all tools).

The Course Dashboard is an essential part of your Bb Learn 9 eLearning course. Along with the My Announcements module, it contains four notification modules that automatically provide information to users based on their enrollment and their role in the system. The UNI course template sets the Course Dashboard as the default course entry page because of this essential information. While the course entry page can be changed by instructors of the course, faculty are encouraged not to do so for the sake of consistency amongst all the students’ courses.

Adaptive Release can be used within eLearning to control the release of content to students based on a set of rules created by the instructor. Rules may relate to availability, date and time, specific users, group membership, scores or attempts on any Grade Center item, calculated columns in Grade Center, or review status of an item in the course. Once any Adaptive Release rules have been established for an item, visibility of that item is restricted to those users who meet the criteria of those rules.
