e-Gems: Upcoming June webconferencing session

Using the QTImPlayer for effective and efficient workplace training and assessment

In the current economic environment, the QTImPlayer mobile device is enabling training providers to provide more effective, efficient and flexible training and assessment.

The device allows teachers and trainers to remotely assess learners on the job, and eliminates the need for paper work and double entry of data. It recently received the Best Mobile Learning Solution award at the 2009 IMS Global Learning Impact Awards.

Using the QTImPlayer, learners can complete assessment questions and gather electronic evidence of their competency – including documents, photos, videos and audio files – in the workplace. This evidence is then automatically emailed to their training provider’s learner management or human resource system.

This session will provide a step by step introduction to using the QTImPlayer for mobile workplace assessment

Presenter

Peter Higgs is Tasmanian Polytechnic’s Manager of Learning Technology. Peter has led the redevelopment of the QTImPlayer since 2007, with funding and support from the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework). Peter also led Tasmanian Polytechnic’s QTImPlayer and camera glasses trial in 2008, allowing learners to video record themselves performing workplace tasks and submit this video evidence for assessment.
