Development of e-learning resources

Examples of our work

Our philosophy

What is the single biggest development in education over the last few years? The answer would have to be ‘e-learning‘.

In the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, e-learning resources give employees enormous flexibility in when and where they study, and how they submit assignments to their trainer. The resources themselves also have the potential to be more dynamic and engaging than traditional print-based materials, particularly with learners who have poor reading skills or short attention spans.

But an e-learning mode of delivery in itself doesn’t mean that the resources will meet the learner’s needs, or provide the depth of coverage that the course demands. That’s because these qualities are unrelated to the platform used, and doing them justice is no easier to achieve in an e-learning format as in any other medium.

Fundamental attributes

The underlying qualities that enable a resource to hit the mark with learners are the same now as they have always been, regardless of the technology used. In essence, every high quality learning resource needs sound instructional design principles, appealing graphics, clear text, and a coverage of the subject matter that matches the objectives of the course.

If an e-learning resource doesn’t have these fundamental attributes, it doesn’t matter how whiz-bang the technology is – the resource will fail to fulfil its over-riding goals: to provide the content material and presentation style needed to optimise the student’s learning experience.

At Workspace Training, we build e-learning resources to meet the needs of trainers, students and their employers. Throughout the development process, we maintain sound instructional design principles while utilising the latest technological advancements.
