Case Study: Curtin University improves pre-service teaching collaboration with GroupMap

Curtin University uses GroupMap to engage 30 universities in faster pre-service teaching collaboration

Curtin University, represented by its Dean of Science Professor Jo Ward, used GroupMap in a workshop with the Australian Council of Deans of Science to address the challenge of improving pre-service teaching for science and math educators. The session aimed to brainstorm essential and complementary skills for teachers and determine how university faculties could collaborate effectively to meet new funding criteria.

Using GroupMap's collaborative platform, the deans were able to quickly consolidate ideas and identify common themes in real-time. This solution allowed the group to move through complex questions efficiently, resulting in a framework of pragmatic initiatives and shared goals for collaborative practice. The use of GroupMap saved considerable time, enabling more opportunity for networking, and helped a group of thought leaders align on ways to enhance Australia's scientific prowess.
