Your feedback is what makes change happen here at the University of Bedfordshire and this starts from the very beginning of term. Last September, lots of you got in touch to say that you found BREO confusing and difficult to access. Beds SU passed your feedback on to the Digital Learning Team and they have been beavering away behind the scenes to make improvements for you – the students.
As a result of your feedback, the University’s Digital Learning Team have launched, the Students Ultra Orientation Site, a space that offers you both a guide and opportunity to practice how to navigate and use some of BREO’s most commonly used features, before it’s critical to your education.
- For example, if you’re worried about your first online test, you can try an example one in this unit.
- No idea how discussion boards work? This space has a test one for you to respond to, to see how it works.
- Baffled by Collaborate? Watch the video in the orientation on what to expect, so it’s not a surprise when you try to access your first online session.
This is just the beginning – you really do have to get involved and try it out for yourself!
Dylan Cox, Co-Vice President of Beds SU tested it out for us:
“This is such a great development and provides students with a space to experiment with unfamiliar technology. We can’t wait to see what students think of it – please let us know so that we can continue to pass feedback on to the Digital Learning Team and continue to develop this tool.”
Do send your feedback to StudentVoice@beds.ac.uk or use the online form to let us know what you think of the new Students Ultra Orientation Site.
You’ll find the Students Ultra Orientation Site on your “Units” tab in BREO when you sign in (the same sign-in you use for the rest of your University accounts).
Watch this space for further updates on how your student voice has been used to change online assignment submission here at Beds.
