Have you created a test, presentation, assignment or group assignment that you don’t want all your students to see? Do you want to manage or limit who gets access to some tasks? You can do that in UB Learns using the Adaptive Release tool.

As one of the Learning Designers at UB's Center for Educational Innovation, I have the great opportunity of teaching faculty course design and best practices. I often get asked by faculty when and how to consider using pre-recorded instructions for asynchronous delivery. I begin by stating that video by no means can replace you as the instructor, nor should it in my opinion. I advise that you use video sparingly. However, videos can be made quite effectively when some basic rules are followed.

Today’s  do not remember when video production and distribution was reserved for skilled professionals. Those days are gone, and over the past two decades we have seen a proliferation of consumer video technologies that allow anyone with a cell phone or webcam to create and stream (broadcast) endless amounts of video content.

The good, bad and best practices... Student engagement has been at the forefront of many conversations as of late, but is not a new topic in higher education. With the onset of lockdowns across the board, remote teaching and some uncertainty of what academia will look like in the future, finding the right balance in student engagement is imperative. 

As a student, I often felt that the only purpose of studying for my classes was to succeed on a test.  Those types of classes always left me feeling a bit empty in terms of the learning aspect. 

Education is evolving fast. Every day, we hear about some new technology that will change the world and the way we learn in it. Here at the 蜜桃传媒 we have a very powerful tool available right at our fingertips called UB Learns.
