Impact “excellent...enhanced learning
significantly, we had the resources at our fingertips”
“the most useful resource on Blackboard has been the e-books. The books are rarely available in the library; having access to them via blackboard has been extremely useful.”
“Scans of historical resources have been a great help as these would not be accessible as easily as other resources for the course.”
“Great to be able to look at such old works without worrying about damaging them etc!!!” 5
