ABSTRACT

This chapter builds on Chapter 5 to highlight ways not only to control time, but maximise impact, with some more advanced and proactive collective strategies. The chapter focuses on attitude and engagement, communication, and making effort count. Examples include (but are not limited to) email policy (e.g. no student emails to personal email accounts/contact hours), forum policy (contact hours/FAQs), drafting policy (only read public drafts, not via email), and assessment design (e.g. scaffold learning to incorporate feedback, compulsory self-assessment). It asks readers to identify actions that can help students and impact positively on their time.
