Website reliabilitiy was also a massive issue as it would often crash or simply be completely unreachable at times. ]]> 2023-04-28 16:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2572032615 JARGON AND INADEQUATE TIME ESTIMATES https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2578772959 Lots of Jargon used throughout the course with no clear illustrations or examples and limited time allocation.]]> 2023-05-04 19:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2578772959 Lack of engagement https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2599670063 The format and content of the course failed to keep engagement and motivation among the students, which caused a very high churn rate. ]]> 2023-05-22 07:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2599670063 https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2599878677 - Due to technological dependence
- Failure of study platform and tools
- Lack of engagement
- Lack of recognition by the market or employers

- Technological issues
- Students not committing to readings and internalizing the information
- The course building on knowledge that may not be there
- Regional differences causing the practical day to day issues of creating a business can't be addressed.

-Failure to engage students in the online program
-Delivery of the courses are dry and not designed for virtual training environment
 ]]> 2023-05-28 08:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2607090821 -there is no single methodology for the entire course - materials are complex and incomprehensible - biased assessment of time spent - no project office and effective coordination - all group members are indifferent to the result -weak communication between teachers and students (Viktoriia) https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2607879612 2023-05-29 13:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2607879612 Lack of buy-in https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2608317951 Student engagement and buy-in was at an all time low due to the fact that most student just recently took an entrepreneurship class and the similarities between the two are too great.

No real digital interaction and students struggle to follow
- no clear calendar has been set from the begging and the course proceeds chaotically
- Digital tools are not enhanced and they are not used effectively to support the student learning journey
- The platform is really basic and not stable
- Value delivered is not according course cost

We are in some way a diverse group of people, meaning that undivided attention is not easy to get from all of us. As it is an elective, we can choose it! I love when I can make a choice, thus I might love this course. It must be very different than advertised in terms of learning outcomes, time estimations, level of engagement so to make it different in a bad was, i.e. a failure. As humans, we need an experience, so if the course is giving us less of experience that other courses we have already took, we will be disappointed, thus the course will be a failure. ]]> 2023-05-30 15:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2609305116 https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2609399964 The course contents were not inclusive or culturally sensitive. As students are admitted around the world, cultural insensitivity might become a barrier of understanding or even a reason for backlashes.]]> 2023-05-30 17:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2609399964 - https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2610015338
-In effective teaching methods that leads to students not grasping the course materials.
-Technological issues such as frequent platform crashes.
-Lack of students engagements with no interactive elements.

Due to high flexibility expectations some students fail to manage their worklife balance together with a demanding student calendar.]]> 2023-06-01 08:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2611575041 My perfunctory performance https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2612987128 I had a million other things on my mind, and I just did the bare minimum to get through the course. As a result, I just didn't get nearly as much out of the course as I might have. ]]> 2023-06-02 13:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2612987128 It failed because it was boring https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613898087 Students were not able to absorb information and found the course boring and uninspiring. This led to students voluntarily withdrawal from classes and complaints to ESMT GOMBA Office. ]]> 2023-06-04 12:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613898087 Pre-mortem of Online ENT course. https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613923393 -The learning resources and material was not organised.
- The instructions on activities were not clear.
-Mini video lectures were not enough and were not compelling. 
-Tasks and Assignments were not clear.
-The grading is not evenly distributed, such as,  the final assignment 75% is the highly contributing element.
-Simulations were not interactive

Asif Sardar]]> 2023-06-04 13:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613923393 There could be potentially many reasons for failure. https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613955935 The course did not strike the right balance between theory & practice.
The course was heavy leaving less time for students to engage and cross learn.]]> 2023-06-04 14:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2613955935 Cohort fail https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2614441630 The course failed to attract an interesting group of people to make up the cohort. Students were boring, disengaged and uncollaborative in group work, had no interesting experiences to share, and spread a demotivated, pessimistic attitude from one cohort to the next.
;-)]]> 2023-06-05 06:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2614441630 Course was too dependent on group work of randomly assigned groups https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2614447149 - time-zone mismatches complicated group meetings
- too many group meetings required, creating a burden for students needing a flexible on-line course.
- some group members don't contribute enough, increasing the burden on others
- as group members work asynchronously, some group meetings are ineffective, as not everyone has the same progress
- grading depends almost entirely on group work, regardless of having otherwise met the learning objectives]]> 2023-06-05 06:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2614447149 How the course could fail https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/41ssrry9gqyzzpmv/wish/2615616889 Distance between group members making the group work non-efficient

Platform failure, not a stable learning platform, making engagement lost 

Students are not prepared, making the course build on non-existent knowledge
