More and more training is being offered in the workplace. Thin training markets, such as small businesses and regional/remote workplaces, means that it is not always a cost effective for training organisations (RTOs) to support this type of training.
As internet connectivity improves, the opportunity for RTOs to offer more workplace online training is becoming a reality. However, the skills required to implement, support and facilitate online training still needs to be development in small RTOs.
To support this, the “Implementing Workplace Online Training” (iWOT) program, based on case studies and resources utilised to support flexible training opportunities already in use, provides the professional development required.

Campus-Wide Response to Captioning: Moving Towards Full CompliancePatrick Loftus
When it comes to video captioning in higher ed, one of the biggest questions on campus is, "Who’s going to own this?"
Is it the Disability Resource Center, the department creating or hosting the media, or the institution?
At the University of Arizona (UA), the answer is: All the above. UA is moving towards a fully captioned campus through a prioritization approach.
During this webinar, you'll learn how UA approaches captioning and the criteria used to determine allocation of funds for video captioning. Additionally, discover how successfully building trust and working closely with key personnel across campus units increases access to captioned media. Options for developing processes to ensure media are created accessibly across your campus will also be discussed.
Topics this session will cover include:
How UA approaches captioning and the criteria used to determine allocation of funds for captioning
How successfully building trust and working closely with key personnel across campus increases access

I gave this talk at Västra Götalandsregionen in Göteborg on June 14, 2012.
In times when knowledge is becoming obsolete faster and faster a four years' university student enrolled for a technical degree might face that half of what has been learned during the first year will be out of date by the third year of study.
Educational settings will need to adapt to new structures and models to keep the pace. Education at large struggles to update their courses within shorter and shorter cycles or to develop new ones, with lessons still being largely given like 100 years ago. Higher education – but also continuing education – should keep an eye on the learning opportunities the web provides, especially in contexts where practical experience is considered equally or even more important than “theoretical” education at school or university.
Understanding web success cases like e.g. Open Source Software communities can help educational organizations to adapt themselves to the new realities. OSS relies on self-directed learning, and this kind of learning is increasingly important in times of rapid pace of change where most of our skills that we learn today will be obsolete within few years.

Managing and measuring your social media activities using Hootsuite - October...Vanguard Visions
Social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter offer businesses an effective way of promoting their business online through building relationships with their target market and providing good customer service for their existing customers. However, people interact with these social media sites for different purposes, so a well-constructed and executed digital marketing strategy is important to ensure that the right message is posted at the right time. But who has the time to be in all of these spaces all of the time?
Use these slides to learn how you can maximise your time while managing and measuring your social media activities using Hootsuite.

Learners are looking for flexible training options that allow them to learn anytime, any where and from any device. Designing and implementing flexible or blended learning programs can be challenging as they require trainers rethink their current training program.
These slides showcase some best practice examples of flexible learning design techniques which will allow you to get started (or benchmark) your existing flexible training program. You will walk away with some useful resources and some solid actions to kick start your flexible training program design process (or which will help you breath some life into your existing implementation).
Increase student motivation (and reduce cheating) using Moodle and Mahara Vanguard Visions
Offering education and training online means that people who live outside your geographical area, who are time poor or who cannot get to regular classes, can get a chance to study. Online learning, however, can result in some students feeling isolated. It can also increase the risk of cheating, as it can be harder to get to know your online students in the same way than those you teach face-to-face.
A recent study identified that the best way to reduce cheating is to increase your students’ motivation and interest in their learning (Lang 2013 via Morris, 2014).
Increasing the intrinsic or ‘what’s in it for me (WIIFM)’ value of online learning provides a win-win situation for the online student, through more interaction with other people and a better learning experience as a result. This presentation will share how Mahara can increase the intrinsic motivation in your students and therefore reduce the chances of your students cheating.
Digital technologies and environments such as mobile devices, social media and ‘the Cloud’ are not only changing the way people are interacting with your business but they can also transform the way you run your business. These digital tools can help you work smarter and help you grow your business at the same time.
But which digital tools do what, and how can you easily adopt them without having to be a computer nerd?
Allison Miller, e-Business mentor and consultant, shares the digital tools that she uses to run her home-based business smarter for the Northern Women's Business Network in Adelaide, South Australia
Choosing the right learning management system (LMS) / virtual learning enviro...Vanguard Visions
The learning management system (LMS) or virtual learning environment (VLE)) has become the default core component of any blended and online learning. While LMSs/VLEs typically share the common purpose of managing and administering learning and assessment activities, their individual features and functions of each platforms can vary widely. With hundreds of different LMSs/VLEs to choose from, selecting the right one requires a clear understanding of what key features and functionalities which are needed by all key stakeholders using the LMS/VLE. This session will outline the processes needed to ensure that you choose the right LMS/VLE. This will be done through a comparison of popular LMSs/VLEs, such as Moodle and Blackboard, together with corporate and integrated LMS/VLE options
More and more workplaces are looking for effective ways to train their staff which doesn’t require them to travel long distances or being away from the organisation for long periods of time. Implementing workplace online training (iWOT) is a natural fit to meet this need, but not all training organisations have the knowledge, skills and experiences to make it happen.
This presentation provides an overview of what is required to implement, support and facilitate workplace online training based on case studies and resources already being used to support this type of training.
How can iWOT support thin training markets - Converge13 - 211113Vanguard Visions
More and more training is happening in the workplace, yet thin training markets, such as small businesses and regional/remote workplaces, means that it is not cost effective for to offer this type of training to all types of businesses. Luckily, through infrastructure investments such as the National Broadband Network (NBN), the opportunity for training organisations to implement workplace online training (i-WOT) is becoming a reality and enabling them to expand their existing training market. This session will showcase what's required to implement, support and facilitate workplace online training based on case studies and resources already being used to support this type of training.

Evidencing compliance of quality training and assessment (SNR 15) through e-l...Vanguard Visions
A vast majority of Australian RTOs are still struggling to demonstrate compliance of quality training and assessment (SNR 15) due to poor program design, trainers and assessors lacking the skills and expertise in conducting training and assessment, as well as ineffective validation and moderation processes (ASQA presentation at Skills Tasmania, Sept 2013). However, taking your training and assessment online often means you can better evidence your audit compliance requirements through the e-learning tools and processes which are used. Join this session to learn how using e-learning tools are enabling RTOs to effectively evidence their compliance of quality training and assessment.

Having an online social media profile is simply not enough when networking professionally online. You also need to social proof yourself by showcasing who you are without being too “in your face”.
Social proofing yourself is the act of sharing information online which people in your network find useful and interact with. This activity then creates a picture in people’s mind about the type of person (or business) you are which helps you build credibility.
What can I do with my eportfolio after formal education and training?Vanguard Visions
Research shows (Leeson, 2011) that learners are much more likely to engage in the use of an eportfolio to support their formal education and training if they know that they will be able to use their eportfolio for beyond their course. Thinking about how learners will be able to use and access their eportfolio beyond their studies is very important, but it also a difficult issue to solve for many institutions.
This hands-on workshop looked at why learners should be using their eportfolio beyond formal study and what they can do with their eportfolio. It also looked at how they can get their eportfolio out of a formal institution’s system and where they can house it. The workshop was a combination of ideas from the workshop facilitator’s experience, as well as draw on the questions and experiences of the participants in the workshop which will lead to new ideas, solutions and questions.

Vvc leading & managing people from anywhere - national telework week - 191113Vanguard Visions
Running a business in a digital economy provides opportunities to outsource parts of your business to virtual assistants, and/or it allows your existing staff to undertake some of their work from home as ‘tele-workers’.
This means your business can quickly access the skills and expertise it needs without having to provide the workspace or infrastructure to get the job done, and often at a lower cost.
But leading and managing people from anywhere requires new approaches and processes.
The “Leading and Managing People from Anywhere” free webinar shared the the tools, techniques and key considerations needed to attract, recruit and manage virtual employees or sub-contractors, while mitigating the risks associated with adopting these new HR strategies.
This webinar is being run as part of the 2013 National Telework Week.
In a world where knowing how to learn and monitor your own learning is more important than just knowing the facts, education and training is gravitating to more learning-centred approaches. Learning-centred environments support learners to not only have input into what is they need to learn, but they also help them determine how their work should be monitored and evaluated. In learning-centred practice, the monitoring of learner progress is no longer the sole responsibility of the teacher, but that of learner, their peers and their mentors through the use of online personal learning spaces or eportfolios (Brown, Chen & Gordon, 2012).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Discuss with the group:“Why is now a good time to implement workplace online training”?
We are seeing more and more people turning to the web to shop, study and search for information about products and services.Online education and shopping are among the top five industries predicted to grow by around 10% both in 2012 and 2013, and beyond
But we don’t have to wait until the NBN reaches us, as the internet is already a game changer, with a number of industries significantly changing or being ‘broken’, for example :Music industry being changed by ‘peer to peer’ file sharing which significantly impacted the number of retail musiceBooks means that we are seeing less and less bookstoresMurdoch can’t dump his newspaper shares quick enough as it’s a dying industryPlaces like Harvey Norman, Myer etc are feeling the impact of online shoppingDeloitte Access Economics (NBN Business Readiness Survey) is predicting that:One third of business are significantly being impacted by the internet now, with nearly 5 out of 10 businesses feeling some impact (32% + 17%) on the short fuse
Other funding for regional / remote learners???
So is all iWOT the same?
