Describe your goal here: the why of the desired situation.
For example:
I want my students in course X to collaboratively work on a project through web meetings regardless of the time and place at which they want to work on this project. By doing this, students are no longer bound to one location, and student groups can consist of students from multiple universities regardless of the physical location of these institutions. In this way, students can prepare their work prior to the face-to-face meetings. I want to facilitate collaboration between students and in this way redesign my education.
What are the advantages of this project, for example manuals, e-lecture, etc.
For example:
- An evaluation of the suitability of this tool for (a specific form) of online collaboration in my course.
- An advice if this tool can be implemented university-wide, and if so a plan of action.
- A research report into the effects of the project on (online) collaboration between students in a course.
For example:
- An evaluation report elaborating on the readiness for (this specific form of) online collaboration in my course
- Advise regarding the possibility of using this tool for more courses throughout the UU, and a working method to accomplish this.
- A research report into the effects the project had regarding the (online) collaboration of students.
Think about time needed for preparation, execution, and evaluation.
For example:
- 4 weeks prior to the start of the course X in block 3 academic year 2014-2015: start experimenting/testing the tool.
- Block 3: using the tool during the course.
- Block 4: evaluation and writing reports.
Think about financial resources, Educate-it support, etc.
For Example:
- Licensing costs for the purpose of a trial license for tool Y.
- Support by the testing of this tool.
- Support by research into the learning effects of this tool.
