Elements of exemplary course design are well documented and readily accessible from various resources. Most notable are the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program (http://bit.ly/2jCURRd) and the Quality Matters Rubrics and Standards (http://bit.ly/2jdtwTG). While these are excellent resources that outlines the goals and standards to improve the learning experience of students in an online or blended course environment, workload associated with its deployment and management is difficult to evaluate. With increasing strain on teaching and learning support teams within institutions, this exacerbates the challenge faced by instructors and academics of HOW to approach improving their courses in a scalable and manageable way. This workshop will focus on facilitating participants in the development of a course evolution and management framework. The goal is to guide participants in establishing a unique set of foundations for course design, upon which iterative improvements can be planned and executed in a manageable manner. These can then be mapped against relevant Exemplary Course Design Rubric elements to create short-, mid-, and long-term milestones.

Predictive analytics has been a hot topic recently as there have been many controversial questions asked if it will negatively impact students with a discouraging prediction. The power of predictive analytics in education isn’t determining a student’s future in advance. It’s helping shape positive outcomes while there is still time to act. With large class sizes and growing advisor to student ratios, identifying students in need of help can be a difficult challenge. Instructors can see current grades or whether students complete assignments on time, but this limited view does not capture the students who might be likely to struggle later in the semester even though they are doing fine now. Nicole will share about how institutions can forecast student success and struggles in their learning and how you can run a cutting-edge way of leveraging data with timely interventions offers a potentially powerful mechanism of students identification at the point and time of failure, before it is too late, and offering them strategies to overcome failures.

First, this paper explores various concepts of the ‘face-to-face’ learning and teaching experience. It also challenges the current views of ‘face-to-face’ mode of content delivery as a feature limited to the physical classroom. This study is based on the use of the Collaborate Ultra for teaching in the postgraduate online TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) programs at Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia. These online TESOL programs aim to deliver not just the subject content but also the ‘online face-to-face’ experience to university students. The project uses quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyse the effectiveness of the Collaborate Ultra platform in addressing the needs and expectations of the new learners. The research sample comprises data collected from teacher and student surveys and the Bond University teaching evaluation results. The ultimate objective of this project is to propose a new definition of ‘face-to-face’ as a feature also applicable to online learning and to emphasize the critical role of the Collaborate Ultra tools in making it possible.

As video becomes an increasingly common content delivery type, the question arises how to take best advantage of this medium. Very important is how to know that learners actually *understand* what they watch, not just that they watch or how much they watch. The best way to do this is with in-video assessments, provided as part of the standard offering by Kaltura. In this presentation we will discuss basic use models for in-video assessments, but also discuss more advanced uses, and how to turn OER video content, student-generated videos, and even imperfect video performances into valuable teaching moments. Finally, we will discuss how video analytics can be generated, and evaluated, including using them for adaptive learning experiences.

The use of e-assessment methods to facilitate and evaluate learning is a growing trend in the higher education space. In particular, the use of online tests has increased rapidly concomitant with the expansion of digital technologies for teaching purposes. Online tests, in the context of this presentation, refer to computer assisted-assessment where the deployment and marking is automated and typically involves objective types of questions such as multiple choice questions (MCQs), true/false questions, matching questions as well as predetermined short answer questions. The growing sophistication of Learning Management Systems(LMSs) such as Blackboard provide an increasing capacity for different types of online tests to be deployed, administered and marked efficiently. Additionally, most major textbook publishers and authors in certain disciplines provide online question banks that can easily integrate with LMSs meaning less time is spent on creating tests from scratch. With these trends in mind, questions arise around the efficacy of online tests in higher education. In this presentation we will share findings of a study investigating practices around online tests. First, we will explore what the literature reveals about the role of online tests in higher education and particularly how online tests are used to lead to student learning through formative assessment processes and feedback practices. Secondly, the presentation will review the practices around online tests at the Charles Darwin University Business School and discuss emerging issues. Thirdly, the presentation will distil some preliminary guiding principles around designing, developing, administering and reviewing online tests for effective learning and assessment. Finally, ongoing and further research by the team on the topic of online tests will be highlighted.

With the increase in blended and online course delivery there are ongoing challenges for supporting staff and students in the use of teaching technologies. This presentation will look at the University of Newcastle's implementation of a third-party building block for Blackboard which provides access to: data to measure tool adoption; tools to promote technologies within Blackboard courses; and support tools designed to improve end-user experiences. 'Eesysoft' provides simple, just-in-time reporting tools that are being used by Instructional Designers to develop targeted workshops and consultations for academic staff within Schools and Faculties where it has been identified that adoption could be improved. When new technologies are introduced, Eesysoft's communication tools are being used to promote features from within the online course environment. Staff and students now have access to resources that are specific to the location within the Blackboard course that they are accessing. It is hoped that Eesysoft will provide the necessary tools and data to influence change in the way academic staff adopt Blackboard tools for blended and online courses.

Failure is the mother of innovation – the key is to be supported so that you want to keep getting back up again. From a distinct multi-disciplinary academic pedagogical community, ideas and experiments sprang for blended learning methods with the key aim to benefit the students. Some ideas flourished, some floundered but all had merit and reasons why they did or did not succeed. This session will consist of two parts: A presentation will showcase some of our successes and failures in applying blended learning methodology from a range of disciplines and angles, as well as share our lived experiences of the emerged challenges. From such varied disciplines as nursing, psychology and chemistry we will share which aspects worked, which did not and what we would do differently to improve the results. The challenge for nursing focused upon incentivizing student engagement and collaboration through combining internal and distance cohorts in a series of collaborative learning tasks incorporating formative feedback and fostering a geographical dispersed community of learners. The challenge for chemistry has been the reliance on in-lab instrumentation for the performance of experiments with steps undertaken to replicate the immersive learning experience of on-campus students for those studying by distance online. The challenge for psychology was to create a transformative experience around interpersonal processes and to foster individual responsibility for learning amongst a first-year cohort through allowing local and distance students to self-manage interactions. In the second part, participants will then work in an interactive document to collaboratively answer a series of questions related to the issues that academics face in pursuing innovative teaching methodology. The goal of the collaborative ideation session is to identify real challenges and begin to tackle these in conversations throughout the conference. By sharing hits, misses and challenges in a supportive setting, participants will engage with each other in an informed collegial manner, thus mimicking the supportive nature of the iScholar group of which the presenters are representing.

Beginning in 2016, Nossal High School began to focus its professional learning for staff on the use of Microsoft OneNote as complementary teaching and learning software to the MH Blackboard Learn environment we have run for the last 5 years. In this time, the speed and depth of the take up of OneNote and its impact on the teaching and learning experience of staff and students has been dramatic. Not only have our students fully embraced OneNote from a learners' perspective, all teaching and support staff are using Microsoft OneNote to record their own professional development, maintaining an ongoing conversation with the college executive and collecting evidence for their personal records. This rapid adoption has forced us to consider closely what OneNote elements overlap with Bb Learn, which features are complementary with Bb Learn and ultimately, what part these two software solutions will have within our overall teaching and learning program. During the presentation, I will be looking at the features of Bb Learn and OneNote that we intend to keep unique to each environment, as well as the elements that we are comfortable in having some overlap. Our overall aim is to ensure we are promoting to staff the most effective software solution for any given purpose whilst ensuring our students are not confused about the location of resources and information from class to class. I will conclude with what we currently see as the most effective arrangement for the use of these two software packages going forward.

The Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) at Charles Darwin University is a semester long university preparation program for students unable to directly enter undergraduate study. With a cohort consisting of 80% of students studying online, Blackboard plays a central role in engaging and enabling TEP students with the necessary skills and knowledge for undergraduate study. To increase student engagement in TEP, a number of initiatives have been put in place this year designed to maximise the use of interactive digital technologies and changing pedagogies. One of the main drivers for these new initiatives was the analysis of data captured in Blackboard showing that early engagement by students increases their likelihood of successfully completing TEP as well as identifying critical points of engagement during the semester. To maximise early engagement and prepare students for TEP studies, the first week of study for all new TEP students has been devoted to a new online initiative called TEP Start which is the focus of this presentation. TEP Start was specifically developed for the online learner to improve the student experience, build their confidence and give them the skills to succeed. TEP Start was developed with the expectation that students would engage and interact with the learning materials on Blackboard, thus moving away from the traditional method of ‘content based’ online learning. This online engagement includes classes hosted in Collaborate Ultra, game-based learning activities and short micro-lectures. Hosted on a dedicated Blackboard site, TEP Start was specifically developed using design principles such as colour coding, visual hierarchy, repetition, images, icons in addition to limited text; all to direct the student’s eye to what is important and to influence how they interact with the content. The initial results of the TEP Start initiative are highly encouraging. The majority of students completed all components of TEP Start and the feedback from students and staff on TEP Start is overwhelmingly positive.
