It is no secret that all RTO’s across the VET sector complain of one particular issue, and that is the low attendance and, therefore, low course completion rates.

Engaging the learner in class will directly affect their attitude towards their studies.

The benefits of student participation are widely recognized but getting students to participate can be a challenge. In this workshop we will discuss strategies and techniques you can use to increase participation in your class.

Workshop Outcomes:

Understand concept of evidence based tools and methods
Understanding adult learning theories and styles
Appreciating a group-learning environment
Importance of collecting and responding to feedback.

Who Should Attend:

Trainer/Assessor
RTO/Compliance Manager
Head of Faculty/Department
Area Manager.

Introduction and Background Information

In short, if only a few students participate by volunteering answers, asking questions, or contributing to discussions, class sessions become to some extent a lost opportunity to assess and promote learning.

Evidence based tools and methods - Adult learning theories and styles

As an instructional designer, you want to create courses that make a difference to your audience’s lives. You want to create courses that inspire them, that change mindsets and drive performance. In short, you want to create courses that are effective and hit the mark, every time.

Session 4 Sat, June 25, 2016

3:30 PM — 5:00 PM

Classroom 7
Collecting and responding to feedback

Evaluation based on student feedback is an important strategy for informing and refining teaching and unit design. There are various methods for this. We are well acquainted with the formal feedback practices which involve student evaluation of individual units of study at the end of each teaching session. Informal practices can be instituted by the Unit Assessor/tutor at different points in the teaching session to gain feedback and make adjustments as necessary.
