Queensland Toolbox Champion
Services
The "Toolbox Champion" initiative has been established to provide support to Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) with a range of issues in using Toolboxes effectively in their programs.
These include:
Technical Issues, eg installing the Toolbox programs, extracting and managing individual Toolbox files, transferring the materials to a Learning Management System and customising the materials for local needs.
Educational Issues, eg induction of learners to the online program, ways of using the Toolbox activities and resources, scheduling of learning activities and assessment, and facilitating learner participation in online discussions.
Organisational Issues, eg planning the incorporation of Toolbox materials into new and existing programs, management of teaching time, supporting learner's technological needs and changes in student management arrangements.
To provide you with information and assist you to manage the technical, educational and organisational issues associated with the use of Toolbox training materials, please use the contact details to enquire about Queensland Toolbox services.
What are Flexible Delivery Toolboxes?
A Toolbox is a collection of resources, suggested learning strategies and supporting material to support online delivery of vocational education and training. Information about the Toolbox initiative, including access to the model web sites from the Toolbox series, is available at flexiblelearning.net.au/toolbox. This is a great site to discover details of Toolboxes and Toolbox initiatives.
