Webinar: Engaging Online Learning Tools for Training

Recorded on 07/12/2018 and forming part of Velg Training's Focus Week on eLearning, this webinar explored how online tools can help to increase engagement with learners. As trainers, where do we begin? How do we incorporate the use of technology in our training across a range of delivery methods?

Topic overview:

Face-to-face, blended delivery, flipped classroom, online learning – all of these delivery methods have one thing in common: the need to engage the learner.  The use of online tools to engage learners is booming! Many learners want to connect online as part of their learning journey, others just enjoy using technology. As trainers, where do we begin? How do we incorporate the use of technology in our training across a range of delivery methods?

Assessment is the core business of an RTO. This webinar was a refresher for all assessors in how they should plan to conduct assessment and to apply the assessment process. The webinar covered determining the approach for assessment and preparing the assessment plan. The development of assessment instruments was also discussed along with approaches to contextualising the assessment to the candidate or workplace.
