Course builder rights would allow students to give each other rights in each other's modules. It would be better to use the groups function in a single module. I.e. set up a closed group for each student to upload files then they don't have to have any extra rights. _________________________________________ Derek Harding, Learning & Teaching Consultant Centre for Learning & Quality Enhancement University of Teesside Middlesbrough Tees Valley TS1 3BA Tel: 07905 497866 e-mail: Derek.Harding(replace with the @ symbol)tees.ac.uk URLs: http://chic.tees.ac.uk or www.chicsite.co.uk www.complementary-practice.co.uk ____________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Blackboard/Courseinfo userslist on behalf of Mark Gamble Sent: Thu 3/11/2004 11:21 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Using CourseSites for Student E-Portfolios One of our education lecturers has had a bright idea. He says: "I am raising with the education team the use of e-portfolios for our students. The most effective way of utilising this type of development and assessment is with Blackboard. That is each individual student would have 'Course Builder' rights to a module * which would contain the variety of their e-artefacts, assessments, and reflections etc. In this sense the Blackboard module acts as the e-framework for their portfolio. This would therefore require that we create a sequence of 'modules' for each student, with one or more staff members as the instructor." In a second email responding to my request for more information re numbers and lifespan, he says: "We have an intake of about 80 students per year on the BA , so for this course it would be 240 by 2007. The module for each student would remain live during the three years of their course, with perhaps a short run-over at the end." Now, in principle, this probably looks like a good-ish idea. But it makes me uneasy. Yup, there'll be some extra work, but I can't really say no on that basis.
