Collaborative workshops

These 2-hour online events are open to all education professionals who want to engage in a collaborative inquiry about their digital education challenges.

During these workshops, you will be guided with peers through several steps:

  1. identify and describe your challenges related to digital education
  2. identify and describe actions to address them
  3. experimenting actions, collecting observations on impact, and produce feedback reports
  4. compare and synthesise feedback reports coming from different education professionals

Every step includes a peer-review process from other educators in the community who suggest improvements and new ideas.

To follow the entire collaborative inquiry process, you will need to join at least 5 collaborative workshops (one for each step plus one for the peer-review). The workshops take place at least once per month, with timeslots decided based on the availabilities of the community. In total, the process usually lasts for 5 months.
