There are also five pdf resources including a helpful checklist on the features of an engaging online classroom.

    The Blackboard Exemplary Course Program began in 2000 with the goal of identifying and disseminating best practices for designing engaging online courses. Blackboard have created an exemplary Course Rubric, which they suggest instructors and course designers use to evaluate how well their course conforms to best practices outlined in the rubric.

    This presentation on slideshare was put together by Glasgow City College and shares the work they have done on making their Moodle user friendly. It is interesting that more often than not FE colleges are more advanced than HE institutions in the design and development of Moodle.

    This blog post shares students views' on mobile learning from a survey carried out at the University of Liverpool. One of the most interesting aspects of this post is the summary of student views in response to the question; 'How would you expect to use mobile devices at University?'

    Thomas thank you for sharing. I wonder whether digital natives and "others" would have different opinion? Also I can not guess on how much of a difference would UG students have to part time PG students. Do you have any idea on that or maybe a good resource to look at?

    This web article published by Faculty Focus suggests that students are more willing to ask questions and interact with their fellow students in face to face settings if they have been offered the opportunity to engage through synchronous online tools. It then outlines reasons why these tools are beneficial for learning.
