The resource was developed for a project which took place at a federal university in the United Arab Emirates and involved teachers on a laptop-mediated preparatory English language course. The researcher-interventionist was concerned about how data generated during the project could be managed in terms of presentation, interaction with participants and storage and tracking as the intervention progressed. The solution was to use a Microsoft OneNote template to manage presentation of mirror data, provide the work surfaces for participants during the sessions, and also to serve as a record or repository of the Change Laboratory as it took place. The template proved to be a very useful tool and greatly facilitated this particular project. The author feels that the template would also be of use to other researcherinterventionists with access to the same technological tools.

Tools for transformation: Selecting a suite of digital tools for an online Change Laboratory

“…Over the past decade, however, the shift to online communication, working and learning has also meant that Change Laboratories have started to employ digital technology to enhance various aspects (see e.g. Miles, 2023, who used OneNote as a knowledge management tool in his CL) or moved fully (Engeström 1987, cited by Nodder, 2023 online, with synchronous online workshop replacing face-to-face meetings (see e.g. Moffit & Bligh, 2024).…”
