Quick start guide

‍

To ensure a consistent experience for Swinburne students, all teachers are expected to use Ziplet as follows:

• Set up a Ziplet class for each student cohort you teach
• Ask your students to sign up to Ziplet (if not already on Ziplet) and join your classes
• Ask the Swinburne required questions (pre-loaded into Ziplet) at least once each term per student cohort

The timing of the questions is up to you and these questions can now be edited to ensure the language and content is relevant to your student cohort.

There are two options for adding students to Ziplet:

1. Students self on-boarding via class code

Students are able to self onboard by visiting the Ziplet website, clicking the sign-up button and following the instructions. Teachers should provide students with the relevant class code which students can then enter once they are registered.

2. Invite students via email

If you have a list of student emails, you can copy and paste them into Ziplet to quickly send invites. Remember to follow up with students in class to ensure they accept the invitation.

Giving feedback doesn't come naturally to students. Whilst Ziplet makes it easy to manage the feedback process and share structured questions, introducing Ziplet to your students will help ensure you get the most from the process. Taking the following steps can help:

1. Prepare before the class by getting your Ziplet class setup with a couple of questions.
   ‍
2. Introduce Ziplet in class. Try using the following statements:
   
   Ziplet will support your learning
   “Your responses will help me to help you. Ziplet will allow me to focus my teaching in the areas you require most support.”
   ‍
   Ziplet lets you shape your learning environment
   “Your responses will help me to understand how you best learn, and what activities you find most engaging.”
   ‍
   Ziplet lets me reflect as a teacher
   “Your responses will help me to be a better teacher. Like you, I need understand to be my best.”
   ‍
3. If you're adding students via email or using the class code, you should follow up in class to ensure that all students have completed registration.
   
   For students joining in class you can use the class code found on the top right of your class card
