Professor Gregor Kennedy
On 19 November, 2014, we were especially delighted to host Prof. Gregor Kennedy and Mr Travis Cox (both from The University of Melbourne) at RMIT University in Melbourne.
In this presentation Gregor and Travis will explored some of the strategic thinking behind, and practical uses of the Blackboard learning management system at the University of Melbourne.
Gregor introduced us to the basics. He provided a simple overview of how an articulation of different meanings of “use of learning technology” has been important in informing academics’ use of the learning management system at the University of Melbourne.
Travis looked beyond. He provided practical and concrete examples of how staff have used the learning management system beyond templated subject sites. There was plenty of time for discussion and questions.
The workshop was hosted by the LTIF project, Beyond Blackboard Course Shells: “What on earth are they using?”
