The purpose of this week’s blog is to identify a potential innovation for our COIS20025 course website, which would help students and staff to improve the learning procedure as well as enhance the teaching strategies.
The one innovation that would help students and teachers in improving the learning and teaching strategies is: -
Students Question and Answers (Q&A)
The innovation that I thought would be helpful on the course website is really easy to use and implement.
This service should be introduced on the course website and the main purpose of this would be to give both the students and teachers of this course to have a common platform to share there thoughts and ideas.
It would really help students to bring forward the difficulties that they face while studying at home regarding the subject and all the questions or articles that they don’t understand directly on the course website and it would be answered by the student or staff who has the answer to the query.
The services that will be provided by this innovation on the course website include quick answers to the queries of the students and all references they want to share with other students. It would also provide a platform to the staff or the lecturers of the course to pass on instructions to the students regarding their course or regarding any news that they want to convey to the students of the course.
I identified this innovation after using a couple of fact finding techniques and completing some surveys within the university with regards to the all the course websites that are used by the students.
The most common requirements of almost all the students as they feel is necessary on the course website is a common page for the students and teachers were they can share there thoughts and ideas with other students and staff of the same course, this is because of the spamming of student emails by other students for simple or no reason.
So, the innovation that I thought would be helpful for our course website will be the Students Question and Answer (Q&A).
