SESSION 1

Guy TrussPrincipal Lecturer

South West Institute of Technology

E-learning pedagogy – not just bells and whistles

Designing and providing good quality, engaging e-learning opportunities for students requires much more than just adding ‘bells and whistles’ to existing learning resources.

The essential elements that must accompany well-designed e-learning programs are positive leadership, removal of accessible barriers, building and maintaining sustainable learning communities and the development of strong, collaborative networks between students and facilitators.

Developing and using quality resources with online technology is only one part of the story. How educators link learning activities, online technologies and tools with modern learning theories and strategies is another.

Overcoming the social media risk factors and linking everything together presents yet another challenge.

We tell our story from the perspective of the practitioner.

Co-presentersAmanda SmithRebecca Evans

Steph TrestrailExecutive Officer

Training Accreditation Council

Vocational competence and currency – The regulator ’s approach

The VET sector has long required its practitioners to be ‘jacks of all trades’ – specifically trainers, assessors and industry specialists.

This requirement has been consistently supported by the sector’s governing bodies with the aim of ensuring that the ‘right person’ provides learners with training and assessment.

So why do so many find it hard to address AQTF Standard 1.4 and SNR 4.4 and 15.4?

This session unpacks the standard and examines the criteria applied by the regulator when assessing the standard for compliance.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the intent of the standard and the factors contributing to the auditor’s judgement of compliance.

Staple it to their heads – how to make your training stick

Part 1 of 2

As trainers, we all fight for our students 'head room’. Everywhere we go, we are bombarded with information and research shows that the attention span of the average person has reduced from 20 minutes to ten.

This workshop will give you some tips and tricks you can use to bring the training you deliver to the forefront of your students’ minds so that they can remember the messages you deliver and act on them.

Topics include how to:

• jazz up dry or boring topics

• grab and keep your students’ attention

• avoid death by PowerPoint

• increase engagement and interaction.

This a 2 hour workshop delivered over 2 sessions; on day one and repeated on day two.

You must attend part 1 and 2 on the same day.

SESSION 1 CONCURRENT PRESENTATIONS



Mark PesceFuturist and author

Hyperconnected Education: Planning, Designing and Delivery in 21st Century Training

Everyone is connected: students, teachers, mentors, institutions, and employers. The natural but mostly hidden linkages between students, skills and employment are becoming the primary elements shaping delivery of training. We’ll explore how to rethink and redesign institutional processes to meet the needs of today’s students and tomorrow’s economy.

Gareth MacRaeSustainability Coordinator

West Coast Institute of Training

What you need to do to ‘educate for sustainability ’

Sustainability and Education for Sustainability (EfS) are terms which draw a wide range of interpretations and reactions nowadays.

This session helps you address two fundamental issues. It establishes the ‘right conditions’ so that your training organisation can ‘do sustainability’; and illustrates how you can ‘educate for sustainability’ through your teaching and learning.

The session draws on ‘tried, tested and proven’ best practices in Australia and the UK which can be applied to any registered training organisation (RTO), with the result that your RTO will be better equipped to move forward quickly, avoid reinventing the wheel and get it right the first time.

You will be able to maximise your learning by seeing EfS learning principles in action through participatory, hands-on activities. And in order to do this effectively, the presenters will make it fun!

Co-presenterDawn Agnew

Naomi StallardIntellectual Property Training Officer


A basic guide to copyright

In this workshop you will explore the intricacies of this tricky area which can make or break a good learning program.

Naomi will also discuss the principles of intellectual property. The topic may be dry, but it is extremely important in our technologically evolving world.

Training for a purpose-integration with Industry

The true measurement of any training program is the final outcome. Training our students to be able to work in such exciting projects as the National Broadband Network (NBN) will be successful only if we can place them in roles that relate to their training experience.

Coordinating training companies, students and industry via network coordinators is how we move forward to produce a sustainable workforce, as Australia moves into a new decade of digital economy and growth.

Karen RaeSenior Academic Consultant

Aspire Performance Training

Remember me? I’m the learner

We spend time in the VET sector making sure that we are compliant, have ticked all the boxes, validated our resources, completed the paperwork and met all the requirements to pass the audit.

But where is the learner in all this? How do you translate your great design and development work into the classroom?

Can you honestly say that all learners are fully engaged and accountable in your classroom sessions 100% of the time?

Do you experience the 80/20 rule, where 20% of the learners answer all your questions while the remaining 80% just let them?

Does your learning environment promote safety so that every learner contributes, holds themselves accountable and feels included at all times?

In this workshop, you will develop the skills and strategies you need to put the learner back at the centre of the learning process.

Innovation Blueprint

Innovation shortcuts workshop

Join us in this innovation 'do fest' as we apply the innovation skills covered in the keynote to your 'real life' training challenges.

The good news is no matter how time poor, or how crammed our heads might be with traditional training skills, with Nils’ innovation techniques we can still find a way to bend time to our advantage and shake up our thinking patterns to start innovating.

This workshop delivers an innovation experience so that you can actually experience what it takes to cross boundaries from traditional thinking to innovative thinking.

Be prepared to buckle up as Nils takes you on a counter intuitive experience that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Luke BehnckeDirector

Office of The National Skills Standards Council

Standards for training packages

During 2011–2012, the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) developed the Standards for Training Packages – a culmination of a number of years of collaboration to ensure that the recommendations agreed to in the Council of Australian Government (COAG) VET Products for the 21st Century Report (endorsed by Ministers in 2009) were reflected in a new organising framework.

On 16 November 2012, the COAG Standing Council on Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment endorsed the new Standards for Training Packages for immediate implementation with a three-year transition period.

The NSSC collaborates with governments, industry skills councils, and peak industry and education bodies to support the change management process.

The NSSC is providing stakeholders with workshops so that they can develop a shared understanding of the implementation of the Standards for Training Packages.

Crash into ‘police problem-based learning’

There has been a serious traffic crash and you are tasked to control the scene and find out what happened. You will use all the skills you have gained from watching police shows on television to figure out how the crash occurred and who was responsible.

While you are doing this, you will be using the ‘police problem-based learning five-step process’.

This workshop showcases multiple intelligences using numerous styles throughout. You will also be working at various levels of Bloom’s revised taxonomy as you conduct your investigation.

There will be a strong emotional component to this workshop and you will need to consider emotional intelligence and how your emotions affect your performance as a crash investigator.

Please noteThis workshop will have a simulated crash scene as well as audiovisual simulated crash scenes which some attendees may find disturbing.

Stepping up to sustainability: awareness + action = change

Sustainability has been a focus at Durack Institute of Technology. The past three years have been a watershed for us, with significant emphasis and effort placed on implementing technologies, practices and a culture that enables students, staff and our community to develop, at the same time as reducing the negative environmental impacts of our activities.

The Institute showcases the benefits that flow from a focus on renewable energy, water efficiency and waste-reduction initiatives – not only for our staff and students, but also for the community and local business at large.

In 2012 we developed a sustainability strategy that prioritises the actions to be taken to propel Durack quickly along its journey towards sustainability.

Durack staff have been heavily involved in developing the Durack Environmental Sustainability Action Plan for each of our core functional areas, including the embedding of education for sustainability into all our delivery and assessment.
