How will you support learners in completing the project?

As a former Dean of a College of Education and Dean of a School of graduate studies, I will ensure that my students have all the necessary resources and materials to complete their project successfully. I am committed to providing guidance and feedback on their project design and implementation, and I strongly encourage them to collaborate with each other and with me to foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Regular check-ins will be scheduled to track their progress and offer additional support as needed. If any obstacles or challenges arise during the project, I will be there to help students identify and overcome them. Finally, I will celebrate and acknowledge their successes and accomplishments to keep them motivated and engaged throughout the project.


Although we do not have full time IT staff, we do employee an IT company and could work with them to answer questions that the students may have as they build the software.
