Context: CIII in Cabinet Making • Traditional approach to training
• Barriers successful completion:– limited engagement:
– with the employer– workplace-based learning– workplace-based assessment
– Attendance lower priority due to off-site time required– Accessing online learning materials anywhere/anytime– Increased pressures on physical training space within
the TAFE
Student Outputs: Mobility• Research: 72% trade students use smartphones
• 99% have a mobile phone • Resources were designed and developed• Students were given iPads• Delivery strategy re-designed• Assessment tools developed• BYOD - Personal devices can be integrated
• Aim: Improve our retention rates by meeting identified learning needs.
Considerations• Accessibility and useability• Interaction with LMS (Moodle)• Reduce photocopying and printing• Desirable :
• Fast and reliable• Many people on site use them• Can be used online or off-line• Multimedia capture• iPads are cool
Issues • iPads don’t have file system• Flash not supported in iOS• Need to upskill users (teachers
and students)• Limited or no experience
developing ePUBs• Becoming aware (through trial
and error) of the idiosyncrasies of using the iBook Author App
• Ensuring file size is manageable
Background/Challenges• prior to this project• Researching different software apps to find which was
appropriate to the project's needs• Being responsible for the look and feel of the publication as well
as the development of the assets• , including the limitations of the inbuilt 'widgets' (interactivities),
and where necessary, reworking the storyboard to allow for these restrictions
• Ensuring file size was managable, yet bearing in mind image quality; particularly with regard to video compression
Solutions • Centre based iPad Planner• Worked in partnership to develop
assessment tools• Developed eLearning and ePub• Developed activities in Java script• Used online assessments – quizzes,
online assignments in Moodle, My Moodle app• Co-taught prototype during Stage

Engagement• Intended outcomes for
learners:– Increased
– workplace training and assessment
– employability skills– digital literacy and responsible
digital citizenship– amount of training time in the
workplace.– kinaesthetic and social learning
that will engage the students
– More rapid skill development and placement in employment
Future • Lessons learnt shared• Ipad Planner updated• Better Comms between service
centres• ePub template for teachers to use•Improved workplace learning links•Assess did it assist retention •Embed this model through whole
qualification•Roll-out to all apprentices 2013•Gather student feedback
