Faculty Network: Designing GenAI Literacy Experiences in Blackboard – Gamified, Flexible, Impactful

Webinar: Designing GenAI Literacy Experiences in Blackboard – Gamified, Flexible, Impactful

University of Southampton

Join Learning Designers Javier Mármol Queraltó and Peter Boorman as they share the design and delivery of a GenAI Literacy course built entirely within Blackboard. This innovative course uses a gamified structure with three progressive difficulty levels to engage learners in understanding generative AI concepts and applications.

Using Blackboard’s native tools—assignments, release conditions, groups, and enrolment methods—the course has successfully supported two distinct formats: a 6-hour in-person synchronous event and a 4-day asynchronous fully online experience. Both formats maintained high learner engagement and completion rates, thanks to the adaptive structure and interactive design.

In this webinar, Pete and Javier will walk through the pedagogical thinking behind the course, demonstrate how Blackboard’s functionality was used to create dynamic learning pathways, and share insights from running the events. Whether you're looking to enhance digital literacy, experiment with gamification, or maximise Blackboard’s capabilities, this session offers practical strategies and inspiration.
