Learning Edge Maintenance: System Unavailable Overnight – 29th & 30th December
Learning Edge, Blackboard Learn (version 9.1.7) will be unavailable overnight (from midnight to 8:00 a.m) on the 29th and 30th of December while Blackboard Managed Hosting carry out essential maintenance in the AMS datacenter. This proactive maintenance will ensure the highest level of network performance and stability.
The Blackboard engineers hope to complete the work within the first maintenance window (29th December) but have reserved the second window (30th December) to ensure they can complete the maintenance without any unscheduled disruption.
Please note this work is in addition to the Learning Edge Upgrade which took place between 19th and 21st December.
We apologise for the inconvenience this set of maintenance windows may cause to you.
If you have any queries regarding this work please don’t hesitate to contact the Learning Technology Development team on 01695 650754 or via [email protected]

Using Audio and Video in Teaching and Learning: Session Notes
For those who couldn’t make it to last week’s session on using audio and video in teaching and learning, I thought it would be worth making the session notes more widely available.
The notes cover the main areas that we talked about. They will be developed further over time, and as we run the session in the future. We’ll let you know both here and on the Staff Development pages when the session does run.

You’ve got to be in it to win it …
Our fourth Students eLearning Survey has only been open for a week and we’ve already had 180 responses – thank you to everyone who has completed it so far!
As you know we are giving away one of our Learning Services USB wristbands for every 20th response so this means we have given 9 away already – check your student email to see if you’re one of the lucky winners.
Have a look at the picture below to see what these exclusive wristbands look like and complete the survey quickly so you don’t miss out on your chance to win one!
Don’t forget that the main prize draw will take place when the survey closes at the end of January 2012, with a grand prize of £50 Amazon vouchers and two runner up prizes of £25 Amazon vouchers!
On a more serious note, the survey really does help to inform developments and in fact one of the main drivers for moving to Learning Edge was the feedback from last years survey that told us you wanted a more reliable, stable and professional system. We think Learning Edge has provided these but want to hear your views .
Current EHU students can access the survey from Learning Edge, the GO portal, your email or from http://surveys.edgehill.ac.uk/elearning_survey_2011/.
