Blackboard Information for Students

Blackboard is Newcastle University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Features include

course management; communities; assessment; feedback; communication and other

collaborative activities.

How Blackboard is used varies from module to module. In general it allows you to view

course materials and learning resources for modules that you are taking, at your

convenience.

How to access Blackboard

Blackboard can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. In order to log

on to Blackboard simply navigate to https://blackboard.ncl.ac.uk and log in with your

Newcastle University username and password.

Blackboard in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology

You will be signed up automatically on Blackboard for access to each module you have

chosen (it takes around 24 hours after your modules have been logged with the School

Office for Blackboard module access to become active). You will also be signed up

automatically to two separate Blackboard communities; one specifically for your degree

programme and another for all students in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology.

You will find general information such as degree programme handbooks, degree

programme regulations, module selection information and general announcements posted

on these communities.

KeyRail StationCoach StationGreen Metro Line (between Newcastle International Airport and Sunderland)Yellow Metro Line (between South Shields and the coast)City CentreNewcastle UniversityStudent Accommodation

Road (private transport)

The University is based right in the city centre. From the north or south follow the A1 towards Newcastle. Leave the A1 (Newcastle Western Bypass) at the junction with the A167/A696 and follow signs for the ‘City Centre’. From the A167 take the exit marked ‘Universities, RVI and Eldon Square’, which brings you on to Claremont Road. From the west follow the A69 to the junction with the A1, and then take the A1 northbound. Leave the A1 at the next junction, signposted ‘City (West), Westerhope B6324’. Follow signs for the ‘City Centre A167’. Leave at the exit marked ‘Universities, RVI and Eldon Square’, which brings you on to Claremont Road.

Parking

Parking is limited around the University. The public car parks on Claremont Road (NE2 4AA) and Queen Victoria Road (NE1 4LP) are the closest to campus. City centre NCP car parks are located on John Dobson Street (NE1 8HL), New Bridge Street (NE1 8AB), and Carliol Square (NE1 6UF). As the city centre is a busy place to park, one option is to park at a nearby Metro station and travel to the University by Metro. Metro is a light rail system that connects passengers to Newcastle city centre, railway stations and Newcastle International Airport.

Rail

From Newcastle Central Station you can take the Metro to Haymarket Metro station.

Bus/Coach

The city’s coach and bus stations, including the Newcastle Coach Station, are within easy reach of the University by foot, taxi or Metro.

Plane

Newcastle International Airport is only seven miles north west of Newcastle University. A taxi from the airport will take about 15 minutes, costing approximately £15. You can also travel by Metro to Haymarket, which takes about 25 minutes and costs £3.40*. The University is adjacent to Haymarket Metro station.

*Price correct at the time of going to press (January 2018).

Personal tutoring

The role of a personal tutor is to support the personal and academic development

of students through the provision of information, guidance and support. Personal

tutors have certain key responsibilities including, but not limited to:

• Assisting in student induction and orientation

Personal tutors are the first point of contact between tutees and the University andthey play a pivotal role in helping to introduce students to university life. Tutors arerequired to meet with tutees once during their first semester at the University – thefirst meeting should take place within 4 weeks of arrival – and offer tutorial contactonce more in that first semester, and once a semester at other times.

Listening to students and offering confidential support or signposting

Personal tutors are not expected to be able to solve all problems that students

might have but they are expected to be approachable and make time for their

tutees to meet with them. Having a good working knowledge of support servicesacross the University will enable tutors to signpost students to relevant sources

of help and support when necessary.

• Monitoring students’ development and offering structured support and advice

It is important that personal tutors help tutees with personal developmentplanning and encourage them to monitor and review their own progress.

• Recording meetings with tutees

Tutors are required to record their tutee meetings with all taught students inePortfolio. Offers of meetings to students should also be made through ePortfolio.It’s good practice to encourage students to make records of meetings and agreedaction points.

• Providing advice on general academic skills and processes

Personal tutors should possess a working knowledge of relevant University

Regulations in order to support students and to offer advice on improving general

academic skills.

• Provide references

Tutors may be asked to provide references for tutees and should be in a position to

offer a truthful account of their skills and qualities.

You can access further information and resources about personal tutoringand ePortfolio on the Learning and Teaching Development Servicewebsite.

Personal tutoring

We want you to make the most of your time at university and take full advantage of all

the services and facilities on offer. Each student will therefore be assigned a personal

tutor – a member of staff who can support you academically and personally and who will

act as your first point of contact with the University.

You can talk to your personal tutor about anything that’s bothering you and they shouldbe able to provide information or signpost you to sources of further information, advice

and support.

Both tutors and tutees are responsible for making the personal tutoring system work

and students have certain responsibilities, including:

• Attending all arranged meetings and responding promptly to communications

from tutors

You should be active in arranging meetings yourself and reply to messages from your

tutor as soon as possible. You should notify your tutor promptly if you’re unable to

attend meetings.

• Making appropriate use of other support services when required

There are a number of support services available at the University that students can

access if they are experiencing personal or academic difficulties. More information

about these services is available at https://my.ncl.ac.uk/students/

• Taking the initiative if problems or issues arise

If you are experiencing any difficulties or issues, try to get help at the earliest

opportunity. Your personal tutor is there to help you, so let them know if something

is wrong!

• Keeping records of meetings and agreed actions – including personal

development planning

Tutors should keep records of meetings with tutees and it’s good practice for you to do

the same. ePortfolio is the easiest way to record meetings and actions – whether as ameeting record or as a blog post that you chose to share with your tutor. To access

ePortfolio, and for further information about using it, visit https://portfolio.ncl.ac.uk

More information about the personal tutoring system and what to expect

from your personal tutor is available on the Learning and TeachingDevelopment Service website
