After selecting a suitable digital tool, the key step is to implement it in the teaching process. The mere availability of the tool does not guarantee success; it is necessary to devise a clear plan for its use, define the rules and timeframe, and explain the purpose and method of operation to students. In higher education, where groups are often large and heterogeneous, implementation requires particularly careful planning.
For example, if a teacher uses Kahoot to increase motivation, they need to decide whether quizzes will be short knowledge tests at the end of each lesson or a final review of the unit. When using Microsoft Teams or Slack, it is necessary to agree on communication rules in advance, for example, that exam-related questions are asked in a separate channel, while general comments are placed elsewhere. When using the Moodle LMS, it is important to clearly explain to students how and when they should submit assignments and where they can find lecture recordings and additional materials.
Performance monitoring is done using the analytical capabilities offered by the tools. Moodle LMS records the frequency of logins, assignment submissions, and quiz results; Kahoot automatically generates performance statistics; Teams shows the level of participation in discussions. Based on this data, the teacher assesses whether the tool has really contributed to solving the problem.
