Dear participants,
Thank you so much for joining our community. We want to hear from potential users of a pedagogy-led online training tool, to ensure it does what you need it to do in a user-friendly way. We hope to design next-generation tailor-made online training resources to meet our pedagogical objectives creatively and with intellectual rigour. HELP US TO HELP YOU! We'd like to start by establishing an inventory of activities and interactions (to help us move towards "use cases"). Let's imagine that you're connecting to an online tool for a specific "session" with a pedagogical purpose in mind. (You can contribute as many different sessions as you wish, and add variations to those already listed).
- TITLE: AIM OF TRAINING SESSION
Please give your contribution a title which reflects the objective of the session. Should skills be imparted, improved or evaluated by the end of the interaction? (These can be general e.g. "develop students' consecutive techniques" or specific e.g. "evaluate candidates' advanced simultaneous retour coping strategies from a dense source").
- ACTIVITY
Please describe the practicalities of the training activity- it may consist of several stages (e.g. consecutive source speech, 6 parallel renditions using breakout rooms, peer feedback in breakouts+main, summary of peer feedback, trainer feedback, demo by trainer, brainstorming conclusions, definition of aims for next class)
- "CLASS" PARTICIPANTS
Please list the participants in this interaction, their functions/ roles, and if relevant, how they will interact with others (or not). Are they in-person, online or recorded (speeches)? (e.g. "student 2 online: speech A: pure customer for student 1 giving peer feedback speech B: interprets")
- ADDED VALUE/ POTENTIAL OF THE TRAINING TOOL
Be creative- in an ideal world, how would the training tool help you as a trainer? What is important to you? What limitations have you noted in your previous experience online (e.g. dual tracking) and in person (e.g. limited infrastructure)? How could a new resource help meet these challenges?
- (OPTIONAL) RELEVANT CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND
Feel free to add any useful information for us to understand the context in which you operate e.g. MA course, continuous professional development, pedagogical assistance etc. and any background (such as the challenges of transition from in-person to online)
