Development Phase Creation of course in Canvas (LMS) Content creation • Online course design (contractor / Career Solutions staff) • Career Plan (Excel, Google docs, Word doc) Feedback from students and staff Review and design modification
Pilot Phases Trialled with Faculty of Creative Arts / Consumer Services • Various methods of delivery trialled • Promoting the course: • – Roadshow across MIT – Talking to Programme Leaders – Intranet, Internal newsletters 31 programmes (465 students) / 95 students completed • Most successful method of delivery • Volunteer/ shoulder tap Lecturers for next phase •
Challenges • New digital platform (limitations) – Staff and students not engaged with LMS • Academic staff buy-in – Time (staff delivery, student commitments) – Concerns over staff expertise required – Compulsory vs voluntary • Literacy level required for MIT wide delivery • Career planning already being done in courses
Next Steps Which model will we use? Automatic enrolment into course Roll out through Schools and Liaison team Available to prospective students via MIT website During tertiary preparation courses
