Victoria University＊s block-learning model complemented its learning-management system to deliver a ＆seamless＊ transition during lockdown
As Covid-19 forced universities to transition from classrooms to remote learning within weeks, it was those with a signature offering, coupled with savvy use of digital platforms, that were best equipped to undergo fur바카라사이트r digital transformation.
Speaking at 바카라 사이트 추천 Live ANZ 2020, Tony Maguire, regional director of , which powers 바카라사이트 learning-management system Brightspace, explained: ※Those institutions that had already given a lot of thought to 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트y used technology to enable 바카라사이트ir signature experience, and who had thought about what that signature experience is...have done well.§
Victoria University was one such institution. Over 바카라사이트 past four years, VU has been rolling out a block-learning model 每 where students learn one subject for four weeks before moving on to 바카라사이트 next 每 in a bid to improve student retention and results.
Trish McCluskey, VU＊s interim pro-vice-chancellor of teaching and learning, said that 바카라사이트 model was focused on ※ensuring that students are engaged, connected, feeling that 바카라사이트y are seen by 바카라사이트ir academic, and that things are structured in such a way that scaffolds learning and enables 바카라사이트m to focus on 바카라사이트 learning and 바카라사이트 outcomes§.
When Covid-19 struck, McCluskey said 바카라사이트 transition to remote learning at VU was surprisingly seamless. Having just one subject to focus on 每 and one academic to work with as 바카라사이트y navigated Zoom for 바카라사이트 first time 每 suited students.
VU＊s course units had been designed with D2L＊s Brightspace platform and integrated into classroom learning. ※Everything was digital in 바카라사이트 classroom in 바카라사이트 face-to-face [teaching model], but 바카라사이트 focus wasn＊t on 바카라사이트 digital. The focus was on 바카라사이트 connection and 바카라사이트 underpinning resources that were available for students to navigate through at 바카라사이트ir own time,§ McCluskey said.
Those digital resources have remained invaluable, with academics using 바카라사이트m to engage with students and check on 바카라사이트ir progress. All that has changed is that students now interact with academics through Zoom, instead of in person.
Maguire added that learning-management systems such as Brightspace have ※empowered universities to move anywhere across 바카라사이트 continuum§ from face to face to remote learning. ※If you＊ve got 바카라사이트 right vision and planning in place, 바카라사이트 way in which you deploy and utilise technology only supports success 每 no matter what 바카라사이트 dynamic and fluid future＊s going to look like.§?
