About the Melbourne learning tools
What are Melbourne learning tools?
These tools are designed to create and deliver engaging and richly interactive learning activities that complement LMS subject and community sites within Blackboard.
Why use Melbourne learning tools?
They provide a range of optional, customisable, flexible, and powerful teaching and learning tools that provide additional functionality to what is available within Blackboard.
Who can use Melbourne learning tools?
Academics with LMS subject presence and ideas for creative, interactive online projects can contact us to arrange a collaborative development or, if you are already familiar with the tools, you can request an online project presence that you can develop leveraging the existing tools.
What can you do with Melbourne learning tools?
Melbourne learning tools enable a wide variety of teaching methods from simple multiple-choice questions through to multi-layered, multi-user, collaborative and interactive role-play.
You can create and incorporate online quizzes, host discussion forums, enhance student communication via blogging, deploy groupwork and role-play activities, leverage students' critical skills via peer-reviews and share and reuse this content in other subjects.
The tools enable you to present Flash, Shockwave and Quicktime content in addition to standard HTML and JavaScript. Student participation and results can be tracked and analysed and file submissions can be marked online.
