presentation teaching&learning conference 2012
DESCRIPTION
During the Blackboard Teaching & Learning Conference 2012 in Antwerp we gave a presentation in cooperation with Leen van Kaam from Saxion University of Applied Sciences. After a short introduction, Leen explained that Saxion has 12 schools with different needs and requirements when it comes to using Blackboard. Leen explains: “Every school has it’s own Blackboard policy, there are differences in culture and their emphasis on pedagogy. This means that our schools also have different support needs. With EesySoft we have a flexibel, fully integrated and and context-sensitive support environment that can deliver the right information, at the right time to the right person”.TRANSCRIPT
