Student User Experience

Beginning in the 2010-2011 School Year, teachers began to rethink how they used Blackboard.

The result was a dramatic shift in how content is organized and presented.

Students and Teachers have found using Blackboard to be more useful, and easier to use.

Previously, Course Info Sheets needed to be downloaded, opened, printed, read, signed, and returned to the teacher.

Course Info Sheets

Course Info Sheet is now an embedded Google Form, which the students sign & submit electronically.

Course Info Sheets

The results are populated into a live Google Spreadsheet, with a Timestamp.

Not only does this eliminate paper waste, but this can be done in-class, without waiting for printers.

Assignments & Calendars

For Tom Beatty’s Math classes, assignments were a hodgepodge of file types and instructions.

Not only was this cumbersome for students to access, but it was a repetitive process for Tom.
