Blackboard Ultra Learning Activities
Use some of the interactive tools in Blackboard Ultra to engage your students in asynchronous activities to encourage independent study.
Key information
Learning activities (or self-scheduled learning) include a combination of independent activities such as readings and guided screencasts/ videos, alongside practical activities, reflective writing, participation in asynchronous discussion and quizzing.
How it works?
The core tools that Blackboard Ultra provides for Learning Activities are the Journal – a reflective activity that prompts students to make a series of entries over a chosen duration. It can include text, images, video, and file attachments, Discussions – a collaborative activity that can facilitate discussion between teacher and students (including peer discussion) and Tests – a benchmarking activity that allows students to gauge their own understanding of their learning through answering questions.
