Ideas for upcoming workshop (May 24)
So, I'm running a workshop soon for faculty on Social Software -- "Collaboration and Communication: Exploring Social Software in Academia." And as part of that full day workshop, I will be leading a session on how Blackboard can be used as a tool for collaboration. Of course, using the group areas is the most obvious example off how students can collaborate in an online environment. But I think I should also show faculty how changing a student's role can give them more power over the content of a site. The Course Builder seems to be the most appealing option. It allows the user to add content to any of the content areas, add forums in the discussion areas, post announcements, and do a lot of site management.
