Consolidating & Celebrating our Learning Process

The delivery of the first unit in this project: Recruit and coordinate volunteers, is coming to an end. Participants are now finalising their assessments and preparing for interviews with their assessors. This process will enable authenticity for collecting evidence from participants - both online and face-to-face.

The feedback from the participants has been really rewarding and also helpful in continuous improvement of our model of delivery. Here's what they have to say so far:
"Googlesite learning materials have been really easy to access and navigate;
Way2Go Kit templates provided for Volunteer management documentation have proven incredibly useful; and the Elluminate workshops have been a lot of fun and another steep learning curve; accessing the Portal and contributing needs some support - Learner guide will be required for learners in the next unit, Being an effective volunteer."
Volunteer coordinators are now looking towards using Elluminate blended in their strategies for coordination of volunteers across remote locations in the Murrindindi Shire - an unexpected but valuable outcome.

And now for some really excellent new NEWS for our project success!

Albury Wodonga VRB has been selected as a successful applicant in the recent round of funding SHOWCASING ICT INNOVATION GRANTS . They will partner with the Albury Wodonga Community College and Educational Consultancy Network to showcase the blended model of the Way2Go Volunteering Elearning Innvoation.

Congratulations!
