They should provide quick links to quizzes, videos, reading material, assignments, and discussions that students need to complete the module.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scheduled Quizzes and Assignments<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"\/met-eti\/files\/2013\/04\/Quiz_500.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quizzes can take advantage of automatic grading, timed release to students, automatic feedback based on answers given and unique questions sets generated on a per student basis from pools of questions. Assignments can be submitted and graded electronically, centralizing the course activity and making the material available to instructors and students regardless of what computer they use to access the course.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Course Communications<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"\/met-eti\/files\/2013\/04\/Course_Communication_500.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The modern educational landscape allows for many channels for communication between instructor and students, and between the students themselves. Online conferencing, discussion boards, chat sessions, and email are all organized within the Learning Management System to keep communication clear, organized, and intuitive.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Multiple Learning Tracks<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/met-eti\/files\/2013\/04\/Multiple_Paths_500-e1401463523369.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Students have diverse learning styles to the classroom, along with widely varying experience with the course subject matter. Providing multiple paths through the course material allows each student to set the pace of the course to suit his or her needs. This frees those on either end of the experience spectrum from the challenges of a singular, averaged course pace.<\/p>\n<div id=\"relatedTutorials\" class=\"dividerTitleBar\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Related Tutorials<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">To release a Quiz or Assessment<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blackboard Learn<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P26JzrhraTA?rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;showinfo=1\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Capturing Handwriting from a Whiteboard<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FBIE3sk3vHE?rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;showinfo=1\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Student Review of a Quiz in Blackboard<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z1zg5xUJgms?rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;showinfo=1\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a9 2017 MET Educational Technology &amp; Innovation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structured Content serves as a \u201cskeleton\u201d for the learning material in a course, establishing the organization, pacing, and path through that material.
