• Three basic steps are required for developing VET e-learning content. Each step may contain a number of additional steps depending on the type of content you’re creating or customising.
The three steps are:• Develop• Package• Describe

Learning object: a digital resource used for teaching and learning. In practice it will usually provide a self contained learning experience and related information, resources and activities.

Mentoring
Packaging Content: •ensures it will be portable and can be used by software such as LMSs, or directly in a browser without further modifications by the user.•Technically, a ’content package‘ is a zip file which contains the actual content as well as a file containing machine readable information describing the structure, navigation and presentation of this content.
Content Packaging, Vetadata, Vet ReLoad
www.acpet.edu.au Creating futures
Mentoring
Navigation•Creating your navigation structure in the package and not within the content means that the navigation will be able to be interpreted and utilised by software such as an LMS or browser. •It can also enable the use of advanced LMS features such as tracking through content and allows more flexibility for display. •Finally, this method also maximises the available space on the screen for the actual content.

Models of e learningPrinciples underpinning effective & engaging elearning
Most e learning courses purpose is to share information, support learners to make correct judgments, perform new tasks or existing tasks in a new way.
However, most courses focuses on sharing information rather than performance improvements.
What do you expect your learners to be able to do
after completing the training?
www.acpet.edu.au Creating futures
Models of e learningPassive Learning
•Slabs of Text•Multiple Choice Questions•Few opportunities to apply knowledge•Poor demonstration of skills•Inadequate follow up with face to face assessment/further training•High drop out rate/low engagement

•Reading is best done offline. •Many elearning courses require a lot of reading. •If most of your course is text-based, find a solution that best supports reading rather than building a course

Models of e learningDiscovery Based Learning
Discovery Based Learning rather than telling and testing is the strongest approach for teaching most types of content
•How do we get the learners to pull this information?
•Well designed case studies, scenarios, decision making trees can create a need for the learners to pull the information
•You can present some simple questions or problem-solving activities that require a solution.

www.acpet.edu.au Creating futures
Models of e learningDiscovery Based Learning – Decision Making Trees
Present learners with situations with choices for dealing with the problem, with each choice leading to consequences and further choices
The process of finding the solutions to the problems is more important than the solutions themselves.

Models of e learningDiscovery Based Learning – Decision Making Trees
Learners can investigate the possible outcomes ofchoosing those options.
They help the learner to form a balanced picture of the risks and outcomes associated with each possible course of action.

You will use a range of content in your learning resources. These content types may include: •Text •Images (including photos, illustrations, artwork, clipart and diagrams) •Interactions and activities •Theories and ideas. Some of this content you will create yourself, but some will come from a third party source.
Third party means the content was created by and is owned by another entity.
