Initially intended as a bit of fun, these were simple images – created in PowerPoint – that students could copy and paste into their digital logbooks. To encourage students to attend and complete tutorial sessions and laboratories, we also introduced a range of digital badges. Referred to as a ‘Digital Logbook’, this used a Microsoft OneNote Class Notebook – a simple note-taking tool that is part of the University’s Microsoft Office 365 subscription. This serves as a permanent record of their work, and helps them to plan future projects and, perhaps more importantly, reflect on past decisions, achievements, and lessons learned.įor ENG1002, Sustainable Design Creativity and Professionalism, we created an electronic version of this logbook – designed specifically for use on student-owned mobile devices. Professional engineers use physical logbooks to document and record their work, from thoughts, design ideas, calculations and sketches, through to literature readings and lab results.
