The eLearning team is proud to launch an updated version of our Gold Master course. The Gold Master course demonstrates the potential of Blackboard by exhibiting good/better/best practices when it comes to the various Learn 9.1 tools. Focusing on good design, the use of technology, student centred learning and Blackboard’s potential, the Gold Master site is meant to be a one-stop shop for faculty interested in maximizing and improving the classroom experience. At this workshop, participants will get to view and experience the Gold Master course and learn how to upload their own copy into a DEV site for future personal use.

Note: Participants may want to request a DEV site called Gold Master Site prior to attending this workshop.
