  • Virtual Reality and Training

    2016 has been declared by tech experts as the year of virtual reality. Will this have an impact on training, teaching and education? Of course it will – but not straight away. I think for training it will have a bigger impact on assessment with the trainers ability to assess an individual from a distance…

On the Federal front we are finally seeing the end result of some ridiculous funding…

  • Online learning – never

    Back in the late 90’s I was a huge advocate of online learning and then over the last few years I have been at times very skeptical and then extremely passionate about its place in education and training.

  • Online learning and cheating

    Yes, you can cheat in the online learning environment. But you have always been able to cheat in the more traditional forms of learning.
