- Welcome everyone to the session It’s exciting to have everyone together finally Comment that I am aware that time is precious and will try and fit this into an hour if possible.
- First show the white board Then show the list of names, the tick and cross function and the hand raise Then show the talk button. Then the chat box, Let them know that the moderator can see all the comments, even if aimed at the individual. Then look at the tool box on the side with the text tool, line tool and colour picker.

- Give a very short introduction about myself and then get each participant to speak.
- What do you think is elearning???
- It will soon become unacceptable to not acknowledge technology in education. We have an obligation as training providers to equip our learners with the skills of the workforce in tomorrows world. Don’t use elearning tools for the sake of it. It will only make things harder. You need to use these tools make things better, to solve a problem. Make it a way of doing business, you can’t expect your trainers and students to engage in something that you are not willing to do. Learning is Changing, Education will need to change as well. Collaborative learning, taking the pressure off the facilitator, having the learners support and teach each other gives them leadership skills and confidence. Education is moving away from the traditional teaching methods. There is so much information, knowledge is no longer sacred, it is all about what you do with it. The age of intellectual property is rapidly dissapearing.
- We no longer teach our students purely factual information. No one can store that amount of information in their heads. The skills required these days are the ability to seek out that information when it is needed, or to store it if stumbled upon and be able to find it again later. When seeking an employee for a role, would you choose someone with that particular skill, or someone who you know can develop that skill quickly and easily. Mentoring rather than lecturing is proving to be more affective in the retention of information. Allowing the learners to seek the information as needed, with the guidance of the mentor will provide an opportunity for active learning. eLearning allows for content development that address a range of learning styles, by providing flexible content, activities and assessment. Electronic evidence can be collected in 100’s of ways, and can allow for learners who do not fit in the box, to provide evidence of understanding in a way that they are comfortable with. When set up correctly, digital evidence can provide far more accurate proof of students work than that of observation in the classroom. Involving your learners in forums can give you written record of personality and writing styles that can then be directly compared to assignment submissions. Don’t underestimate it. LMS’ can also collect and store entire records of learners participation within the course, and information can be collected by topic, or by student. It’s up to you. Social skills are being developed, the users of social networking tools are growing by the day. These people connect with thousands of people who bring opportunity to them, who they may otherwise have never met. If MySpace was a country, it would be the 6 th largest in population in the world. It has a membership of over 172 million people, and increases it’s new members by 375,000 every day. When you employ someone in a role, would you rather they had ICT skills as well? If your organisation had a reputation for providing ICT skills to your learners, do you think your learners would become the employees of choice??
- E-training – just in time training, facilitator free, Blended learning – a great range of delivery methods that can range from f2f through to online sessions, wiki’s web content and more. Virtual Classrooms – a tool for you to provide synchronous training to students that are not able to be there in person – like this one now. Digital Campus – The extremely high end of eLearning in an organisation, this can include intranets, digital libraries, online enrolment and payment options, enews, Learning management systems, student records available online with logins and so on. Distance education – Mainly asynchronous, often achieved through emailing of content and assessment, then returning that assessment by the due date. This may be supported by a facilitator but there is not usually students linked to other students. Web in class – is where most elearning trials start. This can be implemented by the trainer and can be adjusted to resources available. These are great to get started, but once your trainers have a taste for it, they will start asking for more resources, unblocking of websites, administration rights and it just keeps on growing. So be prepared. This document is available on the wiki as is a lot of other useful readings.
- Your basic website.
- The introduction of interactivity over the internet. Tools for creating, engaging, publishing, achieving, presenting. Those who can use these tools, eg My Space, facebook, podomatic (podcasting tool) google accounts, are the future learners. We are breeding a generation that finally walks the walk and doesn’t just talk the talk. They can’t get away with that anymore. They now have the right and responsibility to contribute to the world of knowledge. They are questioning the professional and challenging the products, the consumer finally has the voice to ask the producer what it really wants.
- We are far more flexible than Tafe. We can change course without it taking 3 months. We can have lighter securities and firewalls. We can trail things at a smaller cost. On the down side We don’t have a automatic funding that tafe has, and they can show the organisational capacity to support funding applications that on our own, ACE organisations can’t. But why let tafe get all the money?? We can share the workload, as we are not really competing against each other, we are competing against who gets the money all the time. If ACE as a network can pool our resources and network to become a stronger entity, we can prove that we are able to compete. Team with everyone, schools, community groups, sporting clubs, industry and government.
- So what does this means for you and your organisation? Well firstly, Congratulations on becoming one of the last of the early adopters. Funding for 2009 will be aimed at those who already have elearning embedded into their organisation. This means that we need to get your organisation to a comfortable stage with elearning if you are wanting to seek these funding opportunities. The main source of funding for elearning is from the Australian Flexible Learning Framework. The competition for this funding is fierce, and ACE does get from the same bucket as tafe. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t achievable. Partnerships are looked upon fondly, and the flexibility for ACE to adapt to circumstances gives you all an advantage. But first you need to have a plan, and address these points. They want you to be organised, - and have your partnerships established before you apply.
- Tackle the culture change.
- Most of you are also time poor, and elearning wont make that any easier to begin with.
- Sessions starting in September. Will send you out the information.
