Design Patterns

Using Blackboard Mobile Learn for End of Module Review Questions allows students to assess their progress in relation to specific content and set goals for learning toward final assessments and course completion.

Should I Have a Portfolio activity enables students to consider the potential and use of a portfolio for their learning and career. For more information about the ways that this can be achieved visit Teaching with Technology, ePortfolios.

Rules of Engagement activity intends to develop student responsibility of organising group work and living up to their responsibilities to the group. This is achieved by having the team members define roles and responsibilities (rules of engagement). The most appropriate tool for this activity is a Google Doc although a course wiki may also be used.

Online testing with Blackboard Mobile Learn - Formative Assessment is deployed to reinforce student learning process using a mobile device (smart phone, tablet etc). This activity is designed to modify teaching and learning activities.

Learning Catalytics (LC) gives students the opportunity to articulate their thinking, listen to contrary views and move to deeper conceptual understanding. It develops problem solving skills and long term retention.
