Projects: New Practices in Flexible Learning: Professional Development

Professional Development - a Games Based Approach to integrating VET policies into VET
Janet Simpson

This project began with the real issue of new staff being required to know about the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and their role within it and having no current methodology to engage them in the learning.

This New Practices in Flexible Learning project allowed the project team to explore the use of games-based methodology in an online environment to support compliance training in a professional development context. This project involved the development, trial and evaluation of eGames for use within staff induction programs. It was essential that the final suite of eGames be engaging, easily accessible and able to accommodate diversity in learning styles.

A website was developed to host the eGames, self assessment tools and gain an understanding of the project concept.
