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.<\/p>\n
The core<\/strong> tools that Blackboard Ultra provides for Learning Activities are the:<\/p>\n Journal<\/strong> – a reflective activity<\/strong> that prompts students to make a series of entries<\/strong> over a chosen duration. It can include text, images, video, and file attachments<\/strong>. This makes the tool simple in concept but broad in usage<\/strong>, facilitating reflective entries on lab work, reading, research, or could be used to create a portfolio of artefacts. Though it can be used as a learning activity, it could also be used for formative and marked summative assessment.<\/p>\n
