Basic teaching skills– The student will produce a portfolio of evidence
showing that they have achieved the module outcomes (3,000 – 4,000 words approximately). Typically the portfolio could contain the following elements:
– Plans for learning sessions and/or programmes of study are appropriate to particular teaching and learning situations, incorporating, where appropriate, IT and other key skills
– Evaluations of the design and delivery of teaching and learning
– Consideration of fundamental issues and principles relating to teaching and learning within the specialist area
– Evidence of reflection on teaching and learning processes

Computer mediated skills• Students will produce a portfolio of evidence to
demonstrate their achievement of the learning outcomes. Typically this portfolio could include:
• Documentary evidence of use of a range of electronic methods of communication and information retrieval found in VLE systems
• A report on an electronic search (for instance CD-ROMs, Electronic Journal systems, WWW sites, discussion boards) for material relating to teaching area. This should include indicative material from the search and accompanying documentation concerning search strategy, key words etc
• A report containing reflection on the benefit of computer based technologies in teaching and learning and detailing how their use could be developed within professional practice

Users comments on Blackboard
• Typical comments– “the discussion area of Blackboard
feels a little clunky to use. The interface makes you follow a thread in a certain way, and there is a lot of mouse clicking to read the sections you want”
– “I wasn’t sure which discussion to join”

Summary of evaluation of Blackboard
• Content management is well supported in Blackboard
• The system is secure and reliable• Customisation is not easy in Blackboard, the
corporate interface is hard to adapt to individual institution’s needs
• Asynchronous discussion tools do not have full range of features
• Cost is high, most of which pays for the integration with an institution’s student database and records
• Additional users have licence implications
