The inaugural Chisholm Institute e-Learning Conference “Ripple”, will draw on the insights and experiences of leading educators and Industry professionals from both Australia and North America, to present the new era of e-Learning. An era characterised by the emergence of the powerful connective capability of the World Wide Web. The conference speakers will challenge the notion of traditional models of e-Learning and the role of the educator in the learning experience.
The expectation that Chisholm staff will willingly embrace change without having the opportunity to clearly identify the personal and Organisational benefits is unrealistic. The purpose of this conference is to allow participants to discuss and reflect on the challenges facing Chisholm Institute, in a time when significant change is required and to explore the considerable benefits and options offered by e-Learning and the World Wide Web, for meeting those challenges.
The conference includes workshops and forums, providing participants with the opportunity to identify and distinguish between actual and perceived barriers that exist at Chisholm Institute around e-Learning and to develop strategies and timelines to embed a culture of change into their delivery teams. “Ripple” will also promote the establishment of e-communities, initiatives and resources to sustain effective practice in e-Learning at Chisholm Institute.
