Main Agenda – Tips, Tricks and Building Blocks There are many useful tools and features that are built in to the Bb Learning System. Additionally, thousands of building block apps are available to compliment and enhance the standard features. Let's discuss a couple things: How are faculty using these features and tools in engaging, interesting, and unique ways (ex. Learning Units, Wikis, Assignment Manger, Surveys, Scholar, Podcasts), and what are some of the more helpful and supportive building blocks that institutions have installed - and lets share any helpful tips for using them. Also, what BB work and don't work in version 9.x.
