The Brightspace training team from IT Skills, CEL and comprising all the Learning Technologists held a meeting yesterday to review the training that has been completed and also to look ahead to how best to support staff involved in the first phase of the rollout in the coming semester.<\/p>\n

This is the provision that we intend for academic staff and administrative staff:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Academic staff<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>We have about 50 academic staff on the waitlist.\u00a0 8 face-to-face (F2F) training sessions are being arranged in the period July \u2013 September.\u00a0 If you are not on the waitlist, have not already been trained and will be using Brightspace in semester 1, please email v4l@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a> to request the schedule for these sessions.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>Liz Falconer is writing an online training unit in Brightspace that will substitute for the two F2F sessions and will allow staff to go through the material at their convenience.\u00a0\u00a0 This is due in mid August.\u00a0 The F2F training was needed to help staff with preparing for semester 1, especially given the numbers involved.\u00a0 We were able to train over 300 people in this way.\u00a0 The online training can be phased in now that the majority of staff have been trained in essential Brightspace.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>When the assessment and grading functionality is in place, we plan to conduct a 60-90 minute F2F session supported by Panopto videos.<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>We also propose creating a number of short videos on aspects of Brightspace to support staff.<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>We will arrange drop-in sessions for staff.\u00a0 These will be on both campuses and will consist of F2F and sessions using the tools within Brightspace (chat and virtual classroom).\u00a0 We plan a number of dedicated sessions, for example on quizzes, and also a number of sessions where we will be there to help with any issues you have.\u00a0 We can also attend your team and departmental meetings if that would be helpful.\u00a0 If there are any pedagogic or Brightspace topics that you would like to cover, please email dbiggins@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Administrative staff<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>We will run the 90 minute F2F introduction to Brightspace session for new administrative staff.<\/span><\/div>\n
–\u00a0 <\/span>When the assessment and grading functionality is in place, the same F2F session (mentioned above) is proposed.<\/span><\/div>\n

We will also be setting up familiarisation sessions for other parts of the University who need to know more about the Brightspace platform.\u00a0 Some of these sessions have already been scheduled and more are to be arranged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
