Ever wonder how the Trello integration with Dropbox might be used in higher education? If so, this is the Community post for you!
Atlassian's Customer Marketing team recently connected with an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of OK, Dr. Jenel Cavazos, to learn how she uses Trello and Dropbox to:
- manage curriculum development, instructor training, and course management for about 1,500 students per academic year, and
- make the transition from a pre-COVID-19 classroom to a fully remote working and teaching reality
You can read the full customer story here, but I wanted to summarize some of the cool ways she is leveraging our technology and partnership with Dropbox to manage her course and keep logistical headaches at bay. Hopefully, this will provide some inspiration as you think about your own Trello experiences.
SETTING UP THE TRELLO BOARD WITH LISTS
In order to stay hyper-organized and prepared, the professor has a Trello board set up for each course she teaches and collaborates on with her graduate students. The Trello board is a combination of an information repository and a project tracker. It's divided into the following lists:
- Chapter Improvements and Assignment Ideas
- Revisions, Projects, and Updates
- Class Setup
- Working On It
- All Finished! 🎉
HOW SHE USES CARDS
- Trello cards are used for collaboration with graduation students by assigning tasks, capturing ideas, checking in on course progress, and providing feedback
- Advanced Checklist feature on cards to create detailed to-do lists of everything she and her team needs to accomplish at the beginning of every semester.
-
Labels are also used on cards to designate the primary owner of the project and the type of class they are planning—either online or face-to-face.
-
Card Covers to give context to projects and tasks at a high-level view.
- Dropbox Power Up enables her see Dropbox folders and files, ranging from assignments and course evaluations to syllabi and research documentation, without leaving Trello.
- Dropbox integration allows her to easily attach corse and research info files to cards directly from her Dropbox instance
Hope you are inspired by this application of Trello and Dropbox and, again, visit the official customer story here. You'll learn more about Dr. Cavazos' philosophy and results of using this integrated platform!
