EdTech: Using planning tools for managing learning
Managing and organising personal and curriculum team workload is an essential task for teachers in an increasingly complex work environment. A growing emphasis on team working, with many colleagues on sessional contracts across a number of institutions can make it difficult and time-consuming to plan and manage learning activities.

Organisational skills are essential.
Managing and organising workload is an essential task for teachers in an increasingly complex work environment and integrated software suites can provide a workable solution. However the effectiveness of this lends itself more to larger institutions and may not add value to smaller organisations.
Would be good to use collaborative planning tools
Since the pandemic and lockdown, we have all learnt how to better integrate and utilise tools for planning activity. Good list in the Further Resources section
