eEducation MeTL

About MeTL

Monash MeTL is the pioneering software being developed by the eEducation Centre team at Monash University. This technology transforms the lecture into an interactive experience for both the lecturer and the student, moving it away from the traditional 'information transfer' model to an open 'information sharing' model.  Students become the focus of the learning activity, collaborating and sharing ideas from each other as the lecturer facilitates the learning event. This change in pedagogy allows for greater student engagement in lectures.

MeTL takes advantage of the inking capabilities of the tablet PC, allowing collaboration over web content, web applications, images (e.g. PowerPoint slides prepared by lecturers) and text. In addition to in-class collaboration, students can continue the learning conversation after the lecture finishes. The resulting conversation becomes a collaborative learning object capturing the full experience of the lecture and all the associated learning that it generates with students (links to external comments, notes, shared annotations, etc.)
