For pedagogic guidance see the TEL toolkit Digital Learning Activities.
Key information
Digital Learning Activities can be used for scheduled, self-scheduled or independent study. They can include activities such as online readings and guided screencasts/ videos, alongside practical activities, reflective writing, online discussion and quizzing.
If you need to make use of a specific technology that is not listed here (or found in the site search) then please raise a service desk ticket.
How it works?
Blackboard Ultra core tools include a Journal – for reflective activity that prompts students to make a series of solo entries over a chosen duration, Discussions – for collaborative activity that can facilitate online discussion between instructor/students/peers, Tests – for benchmarking activity that allows students to gauge their own understanding of their learning through answering questions.
Digital Learning activities can also be facilitated in Ultra via third-party tools in Content Market, or linked/embedded via Microsoft 365 apps.
