Student Feedback

Goal: For students to gain confidence in abilities and knowledge

From a student survey:• 94% of students = online pre-labs helped me understand what was

expected• 88% of students = online pre-labs helped me feel more confident in

chemistry knowledge• 90% of students = online pre-labs helped me do better in the

practical classes• 90% of students = overall were satisfied with the online pre-labs

23

Student Feedback

“helped me gain an understanding of what we were doing for the practicals”

“practice questions were related to the classes and tied to chemistry content well for me”

“can do them in your own time and there are lots of resources available”

“the system knew exactly what was wrong whenever I gave an incorrect answer and in a cryptic hint kind of way it let me come to my own conclusion without being hand held”

Kaltura & Echo360

33

A Blackboard, EQUELLA & Kaltura or Echo360 ecosystem can co-exist to enable seamless content delivery for in-class, online, distance and blended learning.

LTI Integration

34

LTI Integration: Standards based LTI integration supports the Blackboard Learn integration, enabling users to configure LTI tools and complete an LTI launch from inside EQUELLA & the LMS.

Users can embed any EQUELLA content into a Blackboard Learn course, and connect to any EQUELLA URL as well as resources.

QTI Assessment with Gradebook Integration

35

Support for IMS QTI v.2.1 allows for the contribution of QTI packages to EQUELLA as resources for viewing and delivery.

Users can manage and share assessments in EQUELLA, deliver them through Blackboard Learn, and record the student’s progress in the LMS Gradebook

Reporting & Analytics

36

Reporting and analytics on learning outcomes are also a key part of a stable eLearning ecosystem.

Users can also complete reporting on which content is being used in Blackboard Learn courses by whom and when, as Blackboard Learn is part of a central outcomes tracking student analytics environment.
