The Victorian Department of Education is seeking feedback from teachers about how they use digital educational resources for teaching and learning. Feedback will form part of a research and evaluation project that will help the Department provide better and more relevant resources for schools. The Department is interested in learning how teachers:
- use digital content
- locate digital content
- determine the relevance and quality of digital content
- deliver resources to students and judge whether they have been effective or not
- access and use online professional learning.
Information is being collected via an online survey and focus groups held at the following locations:
- Whittlesea Tech School - Monday 19 August 1:30pm – 4pm
- Collins Street Melbourne - Tuesday 20 August 1.30pm – 5pm (*participants will be asked to undertake 1-hour user experience testing for a new online resource for schools during this focus group)
- Casey Tech School, Berwick 3806 - Wednesday 21 August 1.30pm – 4pm
- Geelong Tech School - Thursday 22 August 1.30pm – 4pm
- Bendigo Tech School - Friday 23 August 1.30-4pm
- Virtual, Friday 23 August 9am-11.30am
Half day CRT per teacher will be made available to participants via the Schools Targeted Funding Portal and participants will receive full details of the focus groups via a Plain Language Statement. For more details, contact Rachel Crellin at: crellin.rachel.a@edumail.vic.gov.au.
