Using Team Chat software to support student engagement

Synopsis

Within the Graduate Certificate of Digital Learning, all units allow students to engage in team-chat environments using Discord, which provides near real time emotive chat capabilities. Feedback from students has indicated they enjoy this type of interaction as it feels more fluid, faster and allows easier access to their instructors when have questions. This presentation will cover the set up that has been in use for the last two years, as well as case studies of how it is used, along with how to address privacy concerns.
