Resources for better blended learning

CLTD has curated a number of resources which we think you might find useful in transitioning your online courses from Emergency Remote Learning and Teaching to Blended Learning and Teaching. We hope the resources will be of value in improving your students’ learning experiences.

Exploring ulwazi We have now transitioned to our new Learning Management System (LMS). For many of us, this transition meant that we had to learn to design and build our courses at lightning speed. To enhance your experience of ulwazi, we have added new resources to assist you with this exploration. So let's get going with our exploration!
Web conferencing Web conferencing as a learning tool has been fundamental in the transition to online learning. Platforms such has MS Teams and BigBlueButton have enabled us to connect, share and collaborate with our students online. We have curated self-directed resources to help you get started as well as keep you up to date with MS Teams and BigBlueButton features.
Teaching with Video Educational videos have become an important part of higher education, providing an important content-delivery tool in many flipped, blended and online classes. However, there are certain pedagogical underpinnings that need to be considered when using video. We have curated self-directed resources to help you get started.
Learning Analytics In an online class we don’t receive feedback from our students in the same way that we do in a face-to-face class, so how do we know how our students are doing in an asynchronous learning environment? ulwazi provides you with various learning analytics to help you see how students are interacting with your course. We have curated self-directed resources to help you get started.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework which aims to create a learning environment that works for all learners, including learners with disabilities, learners working in disruptive environments, and learners using mobile devices. To help you get started with implementing UDL in your own courses, CLTD has compiled practical tips on how to use Text, layout, Images, Video, and Assessments in an accessible way. Each tip describes a small change you can make that will have a big impact on
Student Evaluations The Blue Explorance system used for student evaluations is now integrated with the Student Information Management System (SIMS). The new integration now makes it easier for lecturers to Opt In for evaluations on their own without sending an email to CLTD or your School Administrator to request to be loaded for evaluations. We have curated self-directed resources to help you get started.
