Description

This seminar is provided to support the 'digital diligence' in your school.

The increased use of technologies in all layers of school environments plus the onus on schools for have quality policies and proceedures regarding school-held data, is a driver for the series of workshops offered in 2021 by AISWA collaborative partner, RTG.

At an ever-increasing rate, the work we do in schools is mediated by technology. Whether it's creating and managing learning activity, communicating, managing our information, payments and enrolments or measuring the impact we're having against our goals, we use technology. Each of us has likely experienced a technology glitch at some time or another and wondered why something "doesn't just work!" While we may find work-arounds to get the job done, having to re-do work, or spend time just getting technology to simply function can be incredibly frustrating and demoralising. 

The degree to which typical learning and teaching, plus administrative work in schools employs technology in a way which empowers staff and students comes down to the effectiveness of five interdependent layers in your organisation:

  1. Infrastructure effectiveness (hardware, devices, security controls)
  2. Software (applications and their interoperability)
  3. Organisation (how you do planning, operations and decision-making)
  4. Networks and communications effectiveness (the informal learning and support groups we form with friends and colleagues)
  5. The individual (my own practice)

In this session, we’ll explore each of these layers, the human impact resulting from inefficiencies and how we’ve gone about redressing the varying problems schools have encountered. To focus this exploration, we'll look specifically at: 

  • the ways in which we’re helping schools reduce workload through workflow analysis and automation.
  • the approach we’ve used to assist schools to identify knowledge gaps across their ICT applications and redress inconsistencies in the adoption of technology into teaching practice.
  • preparing for more strict data governance policy by mapping the data life-cycle across all critical workflows within the school and the entire ICT system, from creation to deletion.
  • security controls that secure workflows and the interoperability of data within your ICT applications and data ecosystem.
