I work directly with teaching staff to support technology enhanced learning. Our job is to introduce, guide, coach and support teaching staff in upskilling to meet their teaching and classroom experience needs. A higher-level goal for our unit is to align with our organisational priorities of demonstrating innovative student experiences and programs.

They don’t see student progress or work as it happens as it’s occurring on other systems. Different groups are using all sorts of tools for conversations, files, notes, and schedules…it’s just too difficult for teachers to learn and use the several consumer tools used by the students. Teachers use a survey and also email them to ask how they are going…or students call in to their office for help (which can have delays). But even with this they don’t have a clear view on the group dynamic skills as they work through the group work, nor can they offer timely advice or course correction where needed.

We need a consolidated and proven way, rather than students using multiple tools in the consumer market. But to help the teachers have more visibility, first we need to work with the students on what a challenge-based learning teamwork space looks like.

If I think of one of the assignments that’s happening now – they would need channels for outsourcing costs, market potential, competitive analysis, feasibility, writing the paper, etc. OneNote for research notes, Lists for stakeholders, competitors, requirements, etc. Planner to share accountabilities. And of course, files to co-author the paper. We would also make use of inviting guests (3rd parties) to collaborate with them on their journey.

Teachers are more informed of their journey and better guide them through the process; Teachers can clearly see evidence of group work dynamics.
