tools for communicationPage history last edited by eid.istfanos

DLI is lucky to have the most updated technology tools like tablet PC, blackboard, Ipods...I will talk about one of them, The blackboard as an effective tool used now and more workshops are available in DLI.

First, let;s define the blackboard

Blackboard is like the sharefolder found in DLI, designed to make online teaching and learning more effective and acessible. It is available to all students and instructors in DLI and is used primarily to support their face-to-face classroom activities or two way communications.

2- What is the philosophy beyond using it?

Blackboard allows instructors or teaching team to use and teach online learning materials, provides interactive assessment and assignment opportunities, promote instructor and student collaborative activities and assist in the management of the curriculum.

3- How can that be done?

Instructors establish one Blackboard course site for each of the courses they teach. At the end of the semester all of the content posted on their course sites is saved and the course site can be re-used the next time the course is offered, That is the same work like the local web sites in DLI from which you can teach, access, download, communicate with the students. Teachers on the blackboard have web access to all of their Blackboard course sites and can edit them at any time and from any location. course . Teachers now in DLI who use the blackboard feel convenient in communication from the office with the students to check their homework trquired day by day. They can evaluate them sending them the score they got in the subject they had homework on.,
