Online Collaboration Boards: Results of An Experiential Exercise

An experiential exercise implemented prior to and during COVID-19 exposed students to informal project management tools and evaluated students’ knowledge and retention of course content, as well as students’ perceptions of the tools, team engagement, and participation. Students completed a pre-test prior to a class lecture on project management methodology and Kanban collaboration boards. A post-test assessed acquired knowledge from using the online collaboration board and changes to team participation and engagement due to using this tool. Session attendees will be introduced to the exercise, results of the pre/post-test, and advice for implementing online collaboration boards in future group projects.
