Asynchronous Submission
For the last two years IIPP has used the online sharing platform, Slack, as an ‘virtual common room’ and informal meeting place for MPA students and faculty. It has emerged as a site for discussion on difficult topics, teamwork, and peer-to-peer support. In addition, the messaging functions have also been popular with many students, including those who may be less comfortable face-to-face, improving inclusivity. This presentation would focus on sharing IIPP’s experience and encouraging other departments who do not yet use this type of platform.
