e-gems webconferencing sessions

e-Gems web conference – Later RON! The RON Network in action

RON, the RPL (recognition of prior learning) Online Network, provides a supportive learning environment for people interested in RPL. Through RON, you can join weekly online meetings, participate in online discussions, attend or view face-to-face forums, review current RPL resources, and communicate with other RON members.
This session will showcase RON in action – including member discussions, resources, and the launch of the professional development framework for assessors using RPL. A Western Australian case study will be used to highlight significant developments in RPL in vocational education and training.

Presenters:

Christine Cooper has worked in RPL since 2007, managing the TAFEWA Skills Recognition Project. She believes that strong networks, both state and national, are important for sharing RPL expertise and skills, and learning new ideas and practices. Christine is currently managing an e-portfolios RPL project involving industry and Indigenous learners in the Pilbara region.
Jenni Harding has a keen interest in the use of technology for teaching and learning. Jenni has been managing RON (which was conceived by Joanne Fuller) since May 2008. RON has an average of over 200 views per month, and in early July had over 1000 on one day.
