eLearning Courses

Until recently, the world of professional development has focused on face to face learning. Now, that has all changed. Organisations are looking for ways to provide the best possible training for their staff in new ways … in this rapidly changing environment training needs to be flexible and accessible.

The health and community workforce are under pressure. Frontline staff, managers and organisations can all experience real challenges accessing quality, tailored training.

The challenges

We know that health and community service staff are committed to delivering the best possible services to their community, but they have:

limited time
increasingly demanding and complex workloads
multiple / competing priorities to balance
CPD commitments to maintain professional registration

Managers tell us that face to face learning is challenging to coordinate when:

Many staff work part time and/or off site
Programs are spread across broad geographic areas
Taking staff off the ‘floor’ disrupts service delivery.

Organisations need to continue to upskill their staff in order to:

demonstrate compliance with quality standards and funding requirements
support continuous quality improvement
maximise efficiency and ensure cost effectiveness

The solution

We have developed a range of self-paced, online training modules to complement our face to face training and live webinars. The key training areas include:

Person Centred Practice
Strengths based assessment
Goal Setting and Care Planning
Consumer Engagement and Feedback
Evaluation and planning

By having access to online modules you can help streamline your systems, adopt practical and innovative ways to work, build on delivering quality and help meet your funding requirements.

KPA eLearning modules

eLearning makes training more accessible, flexible and cost effective than ever before. Some of the benefits include:

Training is accessible anytime/anywhere for your staff (cloud based solution) on laptop, pc, smartphone. All you need is an internet connection.
Staff can access courses directly from our eLearning library or we can upload courses into your organisation’s Learning Management System (LMS).
Learning is broken down into bite sized chunks and includes a combination of formats to suit more learners (videos, quizzes, case studies, workbook activities etc.).
Staff can continue to access the learning materials over the life of their subscription – they can dip back in and refresh their skills whenever they need to.
Everyone has access to the same, quality content, regardless of when or where they complete their training. The content is constantly updated by us, so you’ll always access to the most current version.
Training costs are vastly reduced whilst efficiency is greatly increased
Staff can access the training at their convenience, working around other responsibilities to minimise disruptions to clients and service delivery.
Online learning creates a culture of active and independent learning throughout the organisation.
Content can be used for mandatory/induction training, or to refresh the knowledge of your team, with year round access to the library

KPA eLearning course design

KPA has engaged a highly experienced instructional designer to support us in the design and development of our eLearning courses. This has ensured we can translate proven training content into an online environment, making our courses as engaging, appropriate and effective as possible.

Each chapter includes instructional videos, in which Kate Pascale delivers education with the support of PowerPoint slides. Videos are broken down into bite sized chunks and supported by closed captions to promote accessibility. These videos are supported by a range of activities to demonstrate key skills and support participants to consolidate their learning including:

quiz questions (presented in a range of formats)
reflective practice exercises
case studies (video & paper based)
annotated examples.

Participants are also provided with a course workbook which includes all the course materials they need to successfully complete the course. The course workbook is provided as a PDF document so it can be used electronically, or printed, depending on the participant’s learning style. Each workbook includes:

instructional information about the course and ideas to support them embed their learning
copies of all PowerPoint slides for the course, with space to document notes
written worksheets and extension tasks
comprehensive resource lists.
