Online pinups and portfolios 10:00am-10:25am
Gonzalo Portas & Mariano Ramirez, moderated by Belinda Dunstan
15 min presentation + 10 min Q&A
Every day we are discovering new ways of working, teaching, collaborating and learning. The rapid move to online
education has pushed us to experiment and trial new and novels ways to engage our students.
As Design Educators, we face a unique challenge to deliver an online student experience that is comparable to a
studio class. We experimented with Padlet - an online pinup and portfolio collaborative platform to capture
students work and their journeys through the term. This session will look at how Padlet has been used by the
Industrial Design Team to enhance peer teaching and learning and to showcase student journeys in their portfolio
building.

Creating your online presence 9:30am-10:25am
Ann Applebee & Dean Utian
40 min presentation + 15 min Q&A
Teaching presence is based on how teachers build relationships between students and themselves. Online
teachers who are the most successful at engaging and retaining students are those who, by their attentiveness
and responsiveness, maintain a presence all the time (D'Agustino, 2016). This session will support you to develop
a facilitation plan that embeds your online presence in your course.
• What is online presence?
• How can I create mine?
• How do I know it is working?
• Tips and guidance

Fostering collaboration and peer to peer learning 10:35am-11:00am
Melonie Bayl-Smith, moderated by Jayde Roberts
15 min presentation + 10 min Q&A
This presentation will look at collaboration and peer to peer learning via two of the actions taken to engage with
online participation and modes of delivery in ARCH7182 during Term 1. The manner in which informal interaction
and learning engagement occurred via lectures and tutorials using Blackboard Collaborate will firstly be examined.
Following on from this, a Group work assessment component that was converted from a traditional ‘role play’
exercise into a hypothetical project video conference will be discussed. Observations on how larger groups
interact and can be engaged with, particularly during lecture sessions, will be shared.

Boosting student engagement in online tutorials 10:35am-11:05am
Alanya Drummond & Anir Upadhyay, moderated by Melonie Bayl-Smith
15 min presentation + 10 min Q&A
This session presents the design of 2 courses, one in Interior Architecture, the other in Sustainable Built
Environment.
Can curated videos keep students engaged during online design studio? This first part of the session will share
insight into how instructional recordings can maintain connectedness by guiding students through skills
development activities in small groups. It will outline the challenges and opportunities around engaging students
in the hours before and after meeting with their tutor. The case study presented is INTA3000, a digitally uplifted
design studio course for 2nd year Interior Architecture that has run online in Term 1.
This second part of the session showcases an approach of converting a standard course, often conducted in face-
to-face format to a digital format. The postgraduate course (SUSD0002) is presented as a case study, where online
activities are divided into three areas; watch (lecture videos), read (articles/ book chapters) and reflect (via
quizzes, online forum, short essays and peer-review).

students, particularly through discussion (forums, webinars, chats). We won’t look at the operational side of these
tools, rather consider examples of how you can plan a positive online social space.
• What are my synchronous and asynchronous engagement options?
• What are some good practices for fostering asynchronous online discussions?
• What strategies can I use if I’m assessing discussion participation?
• How can I find out if my students are not engaging?
