Join One of Our Pre-Conference Activities
You are invited to join one of our pre-conference activities taking place ahead of the main conference.
Academic Adoption Day
How to Engage Learners with an Active Learning Experience
While you might understand what active learning is and why learner engagement is important, building these approaches into a course can become a challenge that you can do without. Which technologies do I use? What tool should I select? Active learning and learner engagement doesn’t just happen, but having the right learning environment can turn what sounds complicated, into something you can easily accomplish to improve student retention.
This hands-on workshop will provide you with an opportunity to explore how simple it can be to generate active learning experiences using Learn Ultra. You will leave, itching to apply what you have learnt and with the confidence to know you can.
Developers Day
Enhancing and Extending Blackboard Learn with REST and LTI Advantage
DevDay is a 3-hour workshop designed to introduce integration methodologies and strategies that help your institution tailor the teaching and learning experience to your specific requirements. Attendees will leave with an understanding of Blackboard Learn’s REST API and the IMS Global standards LTI Advantage. You will also hear what use cases are currently covered in the API, as well as what to expect in 2020 and beyond. No development experience is required!
