online inductions into blackboard, the good bad and ugly

I’m surprised that more universities have not created slick induction processes into learning technology.

We still seem to be giving very wordy and quite negative images of what students can and CANNOT do in the VLE or with technology

I would have thought I’d find some institutions encouraging students to think about technology as a general enabler to their research and studies

A couple of examples

This could be an area to try and support students with a less wordy and with a less institutional viewpoint
