The Award has two key areas of focus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Design – the winning Blackboard Ultra module will be chosen for its excellent pedagogically-driven use of the Blackboard Ultra VLE and integrated digital solutions.<\/li>\n
  2. Engagement of Learners – the winning Blackboard Ultra module will be chosen based on student engagement\/interaction with the online space as well as the high standard of support offered to students and the learning experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The award criteria for nomination will be made available to all students across Teesside University studying a campus-based course to nominate modules designed and created on Blackboard Ultra in semester 1 for an award.<\/p>\n
