Synopsis

Future workforce development is dependent on quality training provision. Yet individuals, workplaces and industry sectors that would most benefit from training are often unable to access it. In 2010 WRC undertook research into three sectors using e-learning. IT was found that e-learning can help to overcome traditional barriers to training such as geographic isolation, casual and part-time employment, and work intensification.

Georgina Nou, TAFE SA Regional

Synopsis

Education and training for indigenous people in remote communities has been fraught with difficulties because of geographical isolation, cultural concerns, peoples’ mobile lifestyles, economic considerations and need for focus. With the provision of ADSL internet in the Lands, we have adopted online training and have seen significant changes in access, participation and enthusiasm by community members. We have extended the capacity to deliver engaging, interactive and regular online sessions since the 2007 start, using Centra web-conferencing, Moodle and innovative technologies. POV technology, virtual worlds and interactive multimedia resources offer text alternatives for learners with inadequate literacy skills. After 10 years of working with remote indigenous communities Georgina brings her insights on the various initiatives and explores the issues for remote learners and educators when taking outbush training online.

Gihan Lahoud, TAFE NSW - Sydney Institute

Synopsis

An increasing number of learners are using an array of mobile devices and its important that educators are aware of the tools and their capabilities in order to effectively integrate m-learning into teaching strategies. Students are able to learn and share information anytime and anywhere, enhancing the overall teaching and learning experience.

This session will provide an overview of the educational uses of mobile devices, and will cover topics such as: how mobile devices are being used in education, m-learning tools, and how they can be embedded in teaching and learning with focus on: images, videos, audio, accessing and creating documents, cloud storage, and moblogging and vlogging for evidence-based assessment tools.

Alexander Hayes, Consultant

Synopsis

Mobile phone users will notice how many services are now location enabled using GPS technologies. The same technologies are predicted to play an increased role across all education sectors where the learner submits data as evidence to gain accreditation. In this session Alex will provide a compelling case to consider when (and where) these technologies are now situated in the delivery, assessment, validation and moderation activities of educators across all sectors.

KerryJ, Australian Institute of Social Relations

Synopsis

Taking e-learning to the next level is a lot like setting out on a family car trip. Everyone may be on board and willing to go in the same direction, but expectations and agendas are still going to vary, planning is an ongoing process and there are always going to be surprises along the way.

In this presentation, KerryJ will unpack the elements of community, collaboration, planning and learning that the Australian Institute of Social Relations is taking on board as they set out on the next leg of their e-learning journey.
