Today was the Asia Pacific E-Learning and Training Awards. The ceremony was held as part of the Learn X Conference and is put together by Training Australia Magazine.
The hall at the Sydney Convention centre was filled with eLearning and Learning Management software companies, because the conference itself is for cutting edge learning tools and innovation in training delivery. We were very excited to see our new Learning Management System (Capabiliti) and our online tutorial tool (Adobe) represented in the crowd.
Mariam, Kara and Myself represented the team with Ariane, Celine and Kate busy across the state. We accepted the award for our work implementing the New South Wales Productivity Places Program funding within BCA National. While the implementation was new and exciting the outcome was even better than expected creating training opportunities for clients and the public at a low or even no cost at all. Since this government funding is not always available we really tried to make the most of what was given to us so that all current and future students would benefit. It really felt great to give this opportunity to those who wanted it most. Life-long learning is a journey that needs to be continuously taken up or the opportunities will pass right by you.
The funding prompted new programs and new markets and opened opportunities for our existing students too. It certainly was hard work at the time, but something we are all very proud of. It seems silly but having such recognition really does feel great, We care a lot about our students and trying to get things working as well as we can, so recognition is always welcome. I know how wonderful my students feel at graduation- I think this was the same feeling!
We have our fingers crossed for more awards to come, but in the meantime, it’s back to work!
