  1. School of Languages &Social Sciences Use of Equella at Aston University an ‘institutional solution’ Sarah Hayes24March 2010

  2. About Equella • Aston University Institutional Learning Content repository • Contains media and learning content, such as videos, audio files, PDFs, Word Docs and the Library items e.g. scanned chapters for courses • At first, a solution to ERA licensed content and large files • Recent update to reflect Aston University's corporate branding • Not used actively to share materials, many tutors unaware of Equella • However further development is intended to make use easier • New Collections being added in next few weeks: • Library collection • ERA  collection • Video collection

  3. Equella - Blackboard integration Equella is accessed via Blackboard only: • Advantages and disadvantages • Only by instructors on courses • No access for students currently • Items contributed only via the Blackboard control panel • Items may be searched and added to modules from any module page

  4. A Blackboard module page: to add an item that is already in Equella Go to the edit view

  5. The edit view of the page Choose to add an Equella object

  6. Search Equella from the module page Search for the item you hope to find

  7. Select the chosen Equella item Select the item

  8. Edit the Blackboard details Tutors may find this language a bit odd? Add any details or instructions for students to see

  9. The item is added to the page In ‘mouse clicks’ this process takes 5 or 6, but uploading own content takes a bit longer

  10. Uploading to Equella (only via Blackboard) A tutor would first click on the Blackboard Control Panel

  11. The Blackboard Control Panel There are rather too many options here. A tutor would need to know to choose the EQUELLA Contribute option

  12. Equella item contribution screens It is clear to see you are now in the Learning Object Repository The number of fields to complete on this upload screen have been considerably reduced recently, so it is now quicker to add items The ability to add items from a module page rather than the control panel would be handy
