Our challenge
“A need to provide more blended learning and training options, improve access and flexibility,
improve our training outcomes and reduce our training delivery costs.”
Solution
“We implemented Didasko Online for both our domestic and growing international markets.”
Outcomes
• Increased learner engagement through the synchronised use of the multimedia learning
content, validated assessments, worksheets and online communication with facilitators.
• With the Didasko content aligned to the underpinning knowledge, a 66% reduction in ‘face
to face’ training delivery time and less travel expenses for trainers and learners.
• Improved trainer/assessor utilisation – less ‘theory’ training delivery time and less manual
assessment administration has enabled more focus on practical application and an
increase in the number of students to facilitator ratios.
• Reduced associated business costs from less resource management and administration
costs (labour cost savings of AUD $4,000+ per semester).
• Reduced direct printing costs for worksheets, a saving of AUD $22 per learner per year.
