Arrangements for evaluation of project deliverables/outcomes
User’s performance will be continuously and closely monitored to gain insights into user acceptance of the Soft Skills Mentor. Focus group or online survey will be used to assess the effectiveness of the platform in terms of intended learning outcomes. Findings from intermediate stages will also help the supervisors refine the approach and structure of the upgrade.
Means for disseminating project deliverables/outcomes
Project outcomes will be disseminated via the department-driven or faculty-driven Teaching and Learning activities in the participating faculties, Independent Learning Centre, Teaching and Learning conference at university level, and will be shared to a wider community and other institutions by conference such as the University’s Teaching & Learning Innovation Expo.
