Data from the fourth Tool Evaluation Form (Communication Tools) completed by committee members was distributed. Please take a look at what committee members thought about Communication Tools in Moodle and Blackboard 9.1.
During our fourth meeting, members were surveyed (see results here) about the review process to date in efforts to best focus our remaining meetings this semester. This will facilitate the committee in making a solid recommendation for an LMS to carry the Massasoit community forward in teaching and learning online. Members chose to turn our focus to the examination of Blackboard 9.1 tools at this point in the review.
During the fifth meeting, participants looked at the Assignment and Assessment tools within Blackboard 9.1. Participants walked through the Assignment creation steps as well as the Assessment creation steps. Many of the the features are similar to Blackboard CE8 with some added options and changes in organization. For example, there is no "Assignments" section rather Assignments are created in a Content Areas (weekly, chapter, topic folders/learning modules). Another example is that the creation of Assessments is more seamless with questions being created within an assessment rather than in a separate question bank and then associated with an assessment. There are also new question formats, including ordering and quiz bowl.
