Twelfth International Conference on e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies

Abstract

In 2018 the Strive team at the Tasmanian eSchool started working in OneNote as part of the online learning environment. OneNote enables teachers to give students instant feedback and monitor student progress in real time. For students in the Strive program immediate feedback is crucial in order to maintain confidence and engagement due to the various learning difficulties and setbacks they face. The introduction of Canvas as our LMS has facilitated easy integration with OneNote through the Class Notebook feature providing a powerful tool for assisting students with their work in a shared workspace using synchronous communication. Students can work collaboratively with peers on shared tasks and connect instantly with teachers regardless of geographic location. Since integrating OneNote as a tool to enhance synchronous delivery, student work, participation and confidence in learning have improved significantly.
