    E-Learning for Industry - ASSDA – SkillsTech Australia. - Presentation Transcript

    1. E-Learning for Industry ASSDA – SkillsTech Australia Maurits Gustavsson Business Manager (Education Development Research Modelling) 7/11/2007
    2. Background • Currently Queensland is experiencing a significant resource boom resulting in pressure being applied to all aspects of industry. Particularly the heavy industrial sector. • Consequently the demand for skilled labour is at a 10 year high. • The stainless steel industry is a niche market that, until recently has been limited to highly skilled and experienced practitioners.
    3. Resource boom and training • The increased demand on labour in Queensland has placed excessive demand on training institutions for the development of qualified and skilled workers. • These include both apprentices and existing tradespersons expanding their portfolio. • Multi-skilling the existing workforce is also being sought as a possible solution to human resource shortages.
    4. Capacity of RTO’s • Apprenticeship numbers in QLD on average are increasing by approximately 24% per annum. • Some trade areas are increasing by as much as 36% per annum. • Therefore total apprentice intake numbers are doubling every 3 to 4 years. • With this growth, the capacity for training organisations such as SkillsTech Australia to accommodate student number growth, using current delivery strategies, is challenged.
    5. Delivery alternatives • SkillsTech Australia is seeking to expand the delivery options available to students by embracing contemporary techniques and technology. • Establishing partnerships with enterprises and other private and public RTO’s is essential in the struggle to accommodate demand. • Access to “best practice” delivery and assessment resources is equally as important.
    6. E-Learning for Industry • This project allows for the development of contemporary learning materials utilising technologies that enhance the educational experience of the learner. • Additionally, the platform for delivery (can be delivered via the internet) allows for learning to occur external to a formal training facility for students that are capable of self directed learning.
    7. The role of SkillsTech Australia in the project • ASSDA have been the leader in development of this project in all aspects. • SkillsTech Australia have supplied support where required by ASSDA including: – Access to facilities – Supply of resources – Performing mapping to endorsed components of Training Packages
    8. Outcomes • Learning resources to support the activity of performing a butt weld on stainless steel using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. • Resources are able to be utilised in many ways including via the internet or within a teacher lead classroom. • The resource includes: – Text – Video – Annimations – Interactive components – Photographs and images – Etc.
    9. Videos
    10. Animations
    11. Interactive components
    12. Difficulties encountered • Industry variations in welding practices made it hard to determine which of the industry practices to include. • Being able to adequately capture the welding process with a video camera. The radiation and the light intensity of the “arc” proved challenging. • Animations were developed to supplement video footage demonstrating aspects of the welding process that proved too difficult to capture with adequate clarity.
    13. Benefits to the learners • The ability to supply an additional resource that capitalises on alternative learning styles. • Learners can access materials such as this that provides both an introduction to the stainless seel welding process and a reference for more experienced welders to call upon. • The resource allows the learner to examine the welding process with a greater clarity than is possible in “real life” and in “real time”
    14. Future plans • SkillsTech Australia remains passionate in developing relationships and partnerships with Industry. • Future activities with partnered organisations such as ASSDA are both desirable and essential in meeting the demands on the VET sector in QLD.
