Designing Topical Online Tutorials for Generation Z

views comments

This short talk will discuss an approach to designing tutorial classes which encourage students to consider data sources which are most suited to their usual methods of information gathering and communication. The idea is to encourage students to apply and understand taught theory by assimilating related information from sources such as YouTube videos, websites, blogs, and news articles, which relate to relevant scenarios within contemporary organisations. A specific example of the organisation 'TaskRabbit' will be discussed. Public information relating to this organisation, such as media and web content, can be used to demonstrate real life experiences of the flexible firm, the gig economy, changing employment trends, and the changing nature of work, by encouraging students to analyse, among other sources the views of the organisation’s own employees.

Part of the Learning & Teaching Conference 2021 Series.
