Course Blueprint Melanie Hainke
Blackboard Lessons Learned Course Blueprint Design Canvas User Experience Testing The Student Experience: Key Findings o Review Home Page links to improve design affordance and aesthetics o Provide minimum guidelines to prevent dense module pages being created o Make lecturers details more visible o Need for a consistent structure.
I like the course landing Home page and would like to see consistency across all courses on this page with lecturers to make sure there is information on this page . A consistent structure to modules was very important. Easy to use and access, as long as the course is not overloaded". Everything in one click, I literally see everything you need for the course . Is this a set template? I think that s a fantastic idea! . This looks a lot easier for students and staff . What the Students say....
Design Principles Simple and clear navigation Accessible Functional on desktop and mobile Modules as structured place holders Weekly module layout Clear and consistent labelling Standard folder structure
Use the template to build your content Unpublish all unused items to reduce clutter Template Top Tips Use pages with a range of rich content (e.g. images, embedded lecture videos, files) in a consistent, structured fashion Consistently use the accessibility checker in pages Include feedback information in assignment descriptions directly on Canvas
