Supervision tools
Various online tools and platforms are available to help researchers and supervisors collaborate online. These can be used to help facilitate the supervision process, and to ensure a clear flow of communication between both researcher and supervisor at all times along the research journey. LabArchives, Google Calendar and Zoom, described below, are supported by Monash and are the preferred tools for both supervision and peer communication.
LabArchives
LabArchives is a cloud-based Electronic Lab Notebook that provides a shared environment for students and supervisors to interact within, and for supervisors to keep track of their students’ work, as well as an environment for independent work by students.
Zoom
Zoom is a cloud-based service that allows you to conduct online and video meetings in one easy-to-use platform. It offers high-quality video and audio, and is free for Monash researchers and supervisors.
Google calendar
Your Monash Google calendar helps you schedule and keep track of upcoming meetings and events. Access it via my.monash by clicking on the calendar tile on the homepage. Type your supervisor's name or email under "Other calendars" (located at the bottom left corner of your Calendar) and check his/her availability!
