Hi Ashley,

They don’t get any additional rewards, and I can’t imagine UCS going down that path.

The longer term plan is to integrate this more explicitly within the JDs. At the moment we are working hard to remove tasks from them to create the new opportunities. For instance more efficient was to create submission points within Blackboard (they are looking forward to the SITS <<>> Blackboard Building Block), and encouraging course teams to shift to an online submission, and e-return process. This removes a time consuming load around managing physical hand-ins.

The encouraging aspect is a large number of the course admins say they would like to be skilled up in this new idea and see a role for them.

I hope that helps J

Andy

Hi Andy,

That sounds like a great idea. Do the course administrators get any reward or recognition for this additional work or is it another set of tasks they are encouraged to do?

Hi Mark,

We've gone for a slightly different model. We are keeping away from auto enrollment solutions, and have instead rolled admin rights out to the course administrators. Therefore, staff request enrollment through them. This approach supports a shift in approach as we are starting to use the course admins more proactively in terms of their role in managing online submission, and even training them to provide support around specific tools in Blackboard (the inline grading tools, awareness raising around rubrics etc.,) The realisation was this group are probably one of the most talked to groups by both staff and students. Therefore, they offer wonderful potential as change agents / opinion leaders :-)

Hope that helps :-)

Andy

Morning, those of you not on a beach in flip-flops!

Here's a question: do you allow unfettered, self-acquired access to any and every module (unit/course) in your VLE (MLE/PLE) to any staff member who wants it? And if so, can I ask what mechanism you provide for it to happen? We're on Bb Learn Release 9.1.201404.160205.
