Comments, Suggestions and Concerns

Positive Feedback:

Good idea*This is important*Awesome*So Useful*Very Importatnt*This is vital* I would love this as I work from the feed. Yeah!! :) * Yes, very important* It is important to me. Yes, I like this* Good idea *Good Idea * Assignment notification would be important * Very important...I don't like navigating out of email and then logging into LMS* I like being able to access via link* Very handy. I currently find it difficult to set to all assignments/blogs/discussions/quizzes* Good*

Concerns:

It is easy to see assignments in Blackboard Learn. Don't know why we need to be advised multiple times. This is duplicating work and overloading other email systems.
Outlook? Having fewer email in boxes should be a goal.
Can this please go to course messages and NOT to outlook?

Suggestions:

Prefer the notifications be on a landing page, similar to what the last version of WebCT provided.
Need to also include new discussion postings
Must be able to turn it off
Can this be set up so that students cannot submit form their personal email?
Need to be able to set up which quizzes I get notified about.
Course message notification is needed
Should provide course name in the email (example in deck does not show this)
Should be able to turn it off for each assignment
Include dates for paced courses

Overall Feedback:

Streamline process so assignments are marked quickly. We are paid a fixed $,taking longer to mark an assignment is NOT ACCEPTABLE
Flexibility is good
Anything that highlights showing assignments and messages is Good...comments within document never seems to work well...functionality cannot be undone.

Suggestions

need to be able to embed feedback right in the paper-highlights and different colour ink. Save time form having to download
Need official mark
One page for all feedback given would be handy
Allow ability to send back assignments for further work and allow multiple submissions easily.
Allow re-submissions and grade changes

Concern would this replace emails received from OL Registration system?

Good*Much easier than the one used now
I like to mark the same assignments for the multiple students, currently Blackboard Learn allows me to order the assignments, can this functionality still exist in new system

Suggestions

Currently system bumps you out after 20 minutes. If you are typing when the warning box comes up you lose everything
When marking online, students don't always access all the feedback. It is not intuitive. Need in-document feedback too
Stylus?
Abiltiy to annotate the pdf on the screen directly
Stylus idea :)

Especially important in Math and Physics courses because then we can point things out "draw" on their work etc *Offline marking important * I download all essays and use MS Word and track changes *important *marking offline for large assignments of 30+ pages
NO

Suggestions

Would like to use feedback functions when marking offline.
Would like to use the edit function in word to put comments in edit bubbles can we make this feature available for feedback
Ensure we still have the attached document?
For COMP courses we need zip, java, vb etc. Java and vb need to load into IDE and test run as part of marking
have to be able to upload assignments that have been marked offline
