Purpose: The purpose of this project was to create a training course for learning to use the Blackboard LMS. I also used this course as the proof of concept course for the Open Badges design project.
Results: I reduced the total time for performing an evaluation from around 60 minutes to around 15 minutes (a 75% reduction) by revising the rubric based on formative evaluation feedback.

Open Badge Enabled Training Course
In Phase 1 of the Open Badges Ecosystem, I led the design and development of an Open Badge enabled Blackboard Training course. Below are materials related to its development.

Mapping the Course
Here are some concept maps we were using to get our heads around the content for the Blackboard training course project. We did a content analysis of the Blackboard help videos on Youtube, and then classified them into difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). We then grouped the videos into subcategories of corresponding to their function in the course (course building, communicating and collaborating, assessing, and data. We designed the course based on the final version of these concept maps, and then created assignments and assessments for each of the items in the concept map.
