CELTIC WEBCT USERS GROUP
Friday 29th February, 2008
11am – 3.45pm
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh
Staff supporting WebCT in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland and England
are invited to a meeting of the Celtic WebCT User Group. At this meeting,
several members of the BlackBoard team will provide product and service
updates as well as a technical Q & A.
Tim Squires and Stephen Vickers from Edinburgh University will present: "If
only..." Many of us have muttered these words more than once when working
with a VLE. Their presentation tells the story of how an "if only" moment,
through collaborative efforts, ended up at "That's Better..." Mike Bailey’s
presentation (from Horizon Wimba): "Connect, engage and collaborate with
your learners" will demonstrate the Wimba "Collaboration Suite" integrated
with WebCT. Mike will show us how to create content from Microsoft Word,
deployed in WebCT, including Voice and Live Classes.
A full programme of the event is available at:
http://www.celticwebct.org.uk. Refreshments are sponsored by BlackBoard.
Prior to the event (9am to 11am) and after the event (3.45pm – 5pm) a
Technical Services Manager from BlackBoard will be available for bookable
one to one sessions. Members of the Centre for Academic Practice will also
be offering a tour of the new campus at Queen Margaret University after
3.45pm.
