Learners are intrinsically motivated to acquire skills and knowledge through a variety of means – discussion, social media and communities of practise

Content Formats – E Standards for Training

•Web (HTML & CSS)•Text Documents (PDF, RTF, DOC)•Graphics•Audio•Video•Interactive Content

Using Framework Tools and Networks

http://e-standards.flexiblelearning.net.au/technical_standards/content_formats.php

Mentoring

Content Formats – E Standards for Training•use recognised formatting elements in HTML•Include document type and size, e.g. AnnualReport (Word 255KB).•Use current antivirus to clear your material•Keep file names short and simple. Avoid capitals, spaces, special characters or symbols (e.g. the ampersand [&] or dots [.]), or lengthy names


Mentoring

Accessibility – E Standards for Training•Text alternatives for images, graphs, video and multimedia should be planned and implemented•Content with high bandwidth requirements (such as video) should also be provided in a low bandwidth alternative (e.g. still images and text). •Access to all content should be possible without the use of scripts (e.g. JavaScript).


Mentoring

Accessibility – E Standards for Training•Test the accessibility of your content using the Web Accessibility Toolbar (Internet Explorer) or the Web Developer Add-in (Firefox)•Web Accessibility Toolbar for Internet Explorer: http://www.visionaustralia.org.au/ais/toolbar/•Web Developer add-in for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60


Mentoring

Client Platforms•Hardware, software and operating systems required by end-users to access electronic resources. When developing content, developers need to have a minimum client platform specification in mind. Developers of VET e-learning content must ensure that content is tested and operable in the stated desktop environment.


Mentoring

• Three basic steps are required for developing VET e-learning content. Each step may contain a number of additional steps depending on the type of content you’re creating or customising.

The three steps are:• Develop• Package• Describe

Models of e learningPrinciples underpinning effective & engaging eLearnng

Most e learning courses purpose is to share information, support learners to make correct judgments, perform new tasks or existing tasks in a new way.

However, most courses focuses on sharing information rather than performance improvements.

What do you expect your learners to be able to do

after completing the training?

Models of e learningPassive Learning

•Slabs of Text•Multiple Choice Questions•Few opportunities to apply knowledge•Poor demonstration of skills•Inadequate follow up with face to face assessment/further training•High drop out rate/low engagement

Models of e learningText Text Text

•Reading is best done offline. •Many eLearnng courses require a lot of reading. •If most of your course is text-based, find a solution that best supports reading rather than building a course

Models of e learningLearners come in all shapes and sizes

Learners exhibit a variety of learning style preferences•Active•Reflective•Visual•Experiential•Auditory•Sensing

Models of e learningLets cater for them!

• Reduce reliance on text

(Audio, Visuals, Video)• Use multimedia• Engage learner to think through online material(learning activities)

• Put back industry knowledge

Pull not Push

Well designed case studies or scenarios can create a need for the learners to pull the information

Present some simple questions or problem-solving activities that require a solution.

How

Examples of real life scenarios for problem solving and decision making to present the learner with a situation that they may one day encounter in their normal work practice

Case Studies

Present learners with situations with choices for dealing with the problem, with each choice leading to consequences and further choices

The process of finding the solutions to the problems is more important than the solutions themselves.
