Rebuilding in <strong>Learn</strong><br />

The transition from <strong>Blackboard</strong> Vista to <strong>Blackboard</strong> <strong>Learn</strong> provides instructors with the opportunity to redesign<br />

courses utilizing the new feature set available in <strong>Blackboard</strong> <strong>Learn</strong> <strong>9.1</strong>. The organizational differences<br />

between Vista and <strong>Learn</strong> are significant. Therefore, rebuilding the course from the beginning makes<br />

sense. In rebuilding the course, instructors will have the opportunity to make changes and implement<br />

new design concepts to create a course that engages students and provides a more effective learning<br />

environment.<br />

Assessment Placement:<br />

Assessments can now be placed in any content area. They are not restricted to the Assignments<br />

section or the Quizzes and Tests section. Put them where they make sense.<br />

Customizable Homepage:<br />

Unlike Vista, any area within a course can be used as the course landing page. This opens a variety of<br />

possibilities for course design.<br />

Pedagogically-Driven Content Creation:<br />

Rebuilding your <strong>Blackboard</strong> <strong>Learn</strong> courses provides opportunities to evaluate instructional strategies.<br />

Assessment Variety:<br />

<strong>Blackboard</strong> <strong>Learn</strong> provides a myriad of assessment types enabling instructors to find one that meets<br />

needs. Moreover, integrations with third party assessment sites are also available.<br />

Reviewing Content:<br />

Recreating content in <strong>Blackboard</strong> <strong>Learn</strong> provides the instructor with the opportunity to review and<br />

modify content that may not have changed for some time.<br />

Replacing Content:<br />

Content may become dated and need to be replaced. New technologies often provide opportunities to<br />

modernize content and content delivery.<br />

Repurposing Content:<br />

When reviewing content, ideas may emerge for using the content in new ways.<br />

Tools:<br />

Instructors can take advantage of enhanced features and new tools when recreating their course in<br />
