Curtin is upgrading from Elluminate Live! to Blackboard Collaborate on 20 June 2012. Those already familiar with Elluminate Live! will notice a few changes in the interface and you can find out more about these changes on our website.
Blackboard Collaborate is a live web conferencing and virtual classroom platform that allows staff and students to communicate using a real-time learning space. The main features include two-way audio, multipoint video, an interactive whiteboard, application sharing, web tour, polling and session recording.

A rubric is an assessment tool designed to outline the expectations for achievement. It is usually explicitly designed to support as well as to evaluate student learning.
Development and use of rubrics operates across assessment design, communication, marking, analysis and feedback experience.

The Centre for eLearning has recently deployed Hotseat at Curtin. Hotseat is, at its simplest, a microblogging system allowing lecturers to post questions and discussion points during a lecture. The system can be used to assess the level of interest in particular posts, and to poll the group on key understandings, and identify points for further discussion.

OER are materials licensed in such a way as to allow free access and use by anyone in the world. The internet has already spawned a philosophy of “sharism” and now a global movement in OER is underway. Individuals and institutions the world over are acting in the belief that a better educated population is of benefit to everyone.
