In 2010 Chisholm Institute was successful in securing funding to develop a E learning system to compliment the Controlled Environment Horticulture Glasshouse.
The project is being funded by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework and conducted under the guidance of eWorks, who are a leading exponent of e-learning solutions and technology training. eWorks are continually reviewing products and services to develop solutions that match the pace of change in industry and technology.
The project will see the introduction of "webcams" in to the glasshouse to facilitate on line vision of the crops, and a direct link to the Priva Integro climate management system.
We have developed a further blog site that will track the progress of this project, which will ultimately allow individuals to see exactly what is happening within the glasshouse. The link to this site is located on this blog site and will be updated as the project progresses.
This project is an exciting development in both the educational and technology areas, and will enhance Chisholm's capacity to deliver courses to a wider student cohort.
It's not really that impossible, if you think about it, for everything to be available online in the future. e learning Courses are now available for a lot of courses and I'm sure that like me, a lot of people are going to see the advantages of taking this kind of courses. It's more convenient, more accessible, cheaper and it wouldn't require things like you having to travel, perhaps uniform, schedules like those of traditional classroom setting training.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, exactly the points that we see as being of benefit to people in accessing training in a more felxible and time effecient way. Thanks for your feedback
