Abstract

New technologies are often being implemented across universities from a top down perspective, and often this prevents the nurturing of ideas and passions of academic staff. This paper explores a model to support STEM academics implement a new technology that could be used for any technology change.Data from the implementation is reported to confirm the success of this model with significant interest being shown across the STEM disciplines. Results show that employability, scaffolding laboratory skills, developing self reflection, supporting weekly tasks and program wide initiatives were the major interests chosen by academics within Griffith Sciences.
