If you love data as much as we do, take a look at, <a href=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/digital-learning\/2023\/08\/25\/blackboard-and-vle-awards-5-years-of-new-faculties\/\">Blackboard and VLE Awards: 5 Years of New Faculties<\/a>. We greatly appreciate the engagement our students have with the Blackboard and VLE awards as we continue to focus on the enhancement and celebration of our modules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The engagement shared with us throughout the Blackboard and VLE awards enables us to share key themes of what students value in their modules. Two key themes highlighted in this year&#8217;s awards were &#8216;Organisation and engagement.&#8217; One quote brilliantly summarizes this: <strong>&#8220;This module is truly beautifully organized, with aims and expectations for the week highlighted below each folder.<\/strong>&#8220;<strong> There is consistency between what is provided week on week, and students would easily be able to keep track of tasks.<\/strong>&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Module scorecards were provided to nominated modules to aid them in enhancement. If we take an average of the 277 scorecards in the four themes used in this years award, we can identify where enhancements could be focused in any module at our institution since the 277 scorecards represent a wide-set of subjects and disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Course Design scored at 92.2%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interactional and collaboration scored at 88%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assessments scored at 88.6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learner support scored at 87.2%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shortlist <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our amazing interns, Lottie and Jessica worked together to survey the 100 top-rated modules from students&#8217; nominations. Yes, 100! In doing so, Lottie and Jessica shortlisted the modules. The shortlist has maintained representation from all five faculties and included a curriculum innovation module, which is a cross faculty collaboration.
