Lessons we’ve learned

Appreciative Inquiry

Good use of technology comes from good teachers

Learners don’t alwaysknow how to usetechnology toeffectively supporttheir learning “To begin with it was a bit daunting…. different from regular essays… but I found it really good.”

Context is key“The seminars we did with [Lecturer A]were really good and helpful and theytried to make us comfortable with thetechnology we were using.”

Social tools can help build group rapport “I ended up talking a lot more to people that I normally work with and they probably wouldn’t talk to you in class at all.”

Use of technology can be more rewardingbut requires more work “[T]he easier option is to write an essay but you learn more from the group.”
