Sharing a new approach for consistent and accessible Blackboard course menu colour schemes specific to faculties, departments, or subject areas. Presented at the inaugural meeting of the Blackboard European Usergroup.
Presented at Blackboard European Teaching and Learning Conference 2020. With the rapid move to online teaching, ensuring equitable access to our learning environment has never been more important. Recent legislation has brought an accessibility requirement for public sector organisations such as Universities. How can we ensure that our Blackboard environment reflects our institutional brand whilst following accessibility guidelines?
IT departments in the Higher Education sector and elsewhere know they must commit to accessibility, but how can we take this ambition and embed it within our operations?
I was asked to put on a webinar about Collaborate. This was in the middle of April 2020 when we had just implemented it and were in the middle of our SaaS migration project. I recorded this video instead early on a Sunday morning. Since then it has had more than 3000 views. As Collaborate has been updated many times since then, much of the content is now out of date.
