Instructional Technology
Blackboard (Bb) Learning Management System (LMS)
The Bb LMS offers an integrated set of tools for developing and delivering interactive courses over the web. Mary Astorino is a certified Bb instructor and offers one-on-one and group training sessions.
This software allows UNB teachers to create and host courses online. Courses created with this software can serve as entire online courses or as a supplement to traditional classroom courses. No programming skills are necessary. Login with your UNB ID and PIN to get started. Blackboard resources such as user manuals and training dates are also available.
Videoconferencing
The MacMurray Room (Oland Hall 203) has been specifically designed for videoconferencing courses between our Saint John and Fredericton campuses. It is a small room with a 20 person capacity. For more information or to receive training, please contact Mary Astorino.
To book the room for courses, contact the Registrar's office. To book for other videoconferencing activities, contact Conference Services.
Smart and Lite classroom instruction
Smart classrooms are equipped with digital projectors that are connected to both a computer (with a DVD drive) and a VCR. The Lite classrooms are equipped with an LCD projector but you must bring in your own laptop.
For more information or to receive training, please contact Mary Astorino.
Scantron test marking
Scantron provides a quick and efficient way of evaluating multiple choice exams or instructor-designed student opinion surveys. Departments are responsible for stocking their own optical sheets (forms) but we will mark them for you. For instructions on how to proceed download this pdf file.
