July Members Lunch Box - Industry Engagement: Informing vs Validating

16 July 2018
ONLINE

Proudly sponsored by:



Through open, usable, cloud-based technologies, Canvas enables easy integration of the content, tools, and services that teachers need and students want. As the most usable, customisable, adaptable, and reliable learning platform (think 99.9% uptime), Canvas is adopted faster and deeper (or, is used in more ways by more users) than any other LMS. So, in the end, investing in 21st century education technology actually makes teaching and learning easier (like it’s supposed to).

16 July 2018 : Industry Engagement: Informing vs Validating

Presented by: Melanie Alexandra, Velg Training.

The effectiveness of vocational education is largely dependent upon the offering of training and assessment services that reflect current industry requirements. The world of vocational education and training (VET) is forever changing, not only impacting on the training packages we deliver and assess, but also on the industry relevance of the resources we have in place to support those training and assessment services.

This webinar looks at some effective strategies for engaging with industry, highlights the purpose behind that engagement, unpacks the types of questions that invoke valid responses from those engaged and inform the industry relevance of training and assessment practices applied within Registered Training Organisations.

Key topics covered within the webinar

  • Unpacking the differences between informing and validating training and assessment strategies and practices
  • Implementing a range of engagement strategies to inform the industry relevance of applied resources
  • Preparing targeted questions to enhance the validity of responses acquired from industry representatives
  • Using engagement outcomes to affect industry relevant resources and services
