#2021NVC: Designing and Delivering Engaging Learning

#2021NVC: Designing and Delivering Engaging Learning image

This year's National VET Conference brings to you a number of VET themed categories which enable you to select the key areas of importance to you and your RTO. We appreciate how important it is to engage in the right activities that provide a professional development experience of direct value to your own learning and continuous improvement needs.

The Training/Student Engagement category brings you EIGHT vocational education and training experts delivering EIGHT sessions across the 2-day conference.  Let us show you four of those sessions today:



WVAR: A Paradigm For Design
Geoff Cake
Day 2, Session 3

When we think about the future of our learning content we need to remember that learning design is a complex process that requires logical pragmatism balanced with creative inspiration. This session explores a simple paradigm for designers to follow in order to achieve a balance between pragmatism and creativeness. Geoff will unlock his WVAR for design, a four-step process for making better instructional design decisions and delivering more targeted and effective learning solutions. Get your free pass to improved design!



Online Delivery for English Language Teaching
Dr. Patrick Pheasant, CEO, NEAS Australia
Day 2, Session 4

As our stakeholders embrace the convenience of the web as an information source, it has never been more important to ensure that your RTO’s website’s content is accurate whilst putting your RTO’s best foot forward. This workshop will work through the kinds of information which will capably serve all audiences. It will also share ‘dos and don’ts’, mapped to the relevant Standards for RTOs (2015), to support you to prepare great content and to ensure your website is accessible by all.



Learning Differently: Addressing the Challenges Faced by Students with Dyslexia and Other Learning Differences
Karen Dymke, Director, Thoughtfulworks
Day 1, Session 2

Up to 20 % of the population are impacted by Specific Learning Disorders such as Dyslexia and Auditory processing disorders. This session aims to provide attendees with an understanding of how SLDs such as Dyslexia present, how to identify a student who learns differently, as well as insights into some of the day-to-day learning challenges these students face in the classroom. It will also provide some practical, easy-to-implement strategies to aid the progression of student learning.



Training the Learning Magician .... it's a Skill and Incredibly Enjoyable
Laurie Kelly, Senior Consultant, Brain Friendly Training Pty Ltd
Day 2, Session 2

As a "Great Trainer", you are, in effect, a “Learning Magician” because in Training, magic is the name of the game if effective transfer of knowledge is to occur.  The Experience of Learning needs to be more than just ‘consumption of information' therefore for real learning and transfer of skills to take place, there must be a connection created within the learner's brain.  This session will have you experience what this means for you and your learning delivery design.  Be prepared to have fun and to shift mental mindsets!



Whether you have a face-2-face ticket or are a Virtual Attender, if Training/Student Engagement is the PD theme of value to you and your RTO, check out the above sessions throughout these 2 exciting conference days!
