Anticipated scenarios for use

We anticipate that the tool could be used in the following scenarios. For each scenario we have also incorporated some prompts.

You’ve been given some content and asked to turn it into a final form (web/VLE page, eLearning package, video)

  • Is there a degree to which you can ‘audit’ the content and feed back (e.g. using Uni of Liverpool tool)

You/your team is looking to showcase tools to staff

  • Can you prompt staff to think about the potential biases of tools and different access to technology in their context (eg…)

You’re part of a project team at the start of a piece of work

You are developing an area of the VLE (course page, instituting a new template etc)

  • Think about representation – who is visible and not visible and how are different groups portrayed
  • Content

You are creating training material for staff (about any subject, for example using a tool or creating a type of content)

  • Editing or producing
