This is the presentation I prepared for the Ministry of Community and Social Services to explain the new E-Learning Centre I built for the CAS VAW Advisory Collaboration Committee Toronto Region

1. Enhancing our On-Line Resources

2. What is the E-Learning Centre?
 An online tool developed to ensure increased
learning, collaboration, and networking among CAS
and VAW workers in Toronto.
 A flexible, web-based, learn-on-demand system that
allows staff to complete courses at their own pace and
schedule.
 Access to this training site is currently limited to
workers of agencies that have signed the CAS/VAW
Collaboration Agreement for Toronto.

3. Goals
1. To maintain the current level of the CAS/VAW Collaboration’s
online content, functionality, and impact.
2. To expand content options with a focus on (i) enhanced and
increased curriculum (ii) the creation of an online community hub
and (iii) other meaningful features to strengthen relevancy and
impact for CAS and VAW workers and stakeholders.
3. To explore strategies to expand the site’s reach across the province,
country and potentially internationally.
4. To examine the site’s financial viability to ensure it is a self-
sustaining initiative and resource tool for the CAS/VAW sectors.

4. Key Elements
 Transitioned to Articulate Studio Pro Software: A user
friendly, highly interactive e-learning software.
 Integrated Evaluative Data Collection: Incorporated
after each module, each survey will help us determine
if whether it is functioning as intended, or meeting our
goals and objectives, and may help us identify areas for
improvement.
 Ensuring Continuous Access to Resources: Learners
have continuity of access to the resources they need.
