By attending this event you will:
- meet and network with other like minded professionals
- hear the vision for AITD in Tasmania from the Councilors from the Victorian / Tasmanian Council  
- have the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions about the sorts of events you would like to see held locally

31-May-2013 NSW - Training Needs Analysis - 1 day workshop

No bandaid solutions needed - treat the real training issues in your workplace

  How often does someone in your business provide a training solution which does not quite meet the needs of the learner or the business?
•  How often has a training program been thrown together to meet a need, but still doesn't hit the spot?

It is important to take a few moments, even when timeframes are tight, to explore the real training issues and not just treat the symptoms that are seen.

A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is the formal process of identifying the training gap and its related training need.

Training is often the ‘solution’ used to address a myriad of issues within the business.  Many dollars are wasted delivering ineffective programs.  Taking time to conduct a TNA will help ensure the right response is implemented to meet a specified need.  A training needs analysis does not have to take a long time, you just need to consider a number of specific areas.

In this workshop we will explore the steps, tools and techniques used to clearly identify needs and customise solutions as required.  Participants are encouraged to bring along a workplace project as there will be an opportunity during the afternoon session to apply the principles explored earlier in the day.

Learning Outcome
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
•  Review the role of a Training Needs Analysis
•  Explore the stages of a TNA
•  Examine the parameters of a TNA project
•  Conduct a gap analysis
•  Identify effective learning solutions
•  Prepare a findings and recommendations report for the business and stakeholders

Agenda
Morning – Theory, process, tools and templates
•  The role of a Training Needs Analysis
•  Phases of a TNA
•  Gap Analysis
•  Learning Solutions
•  Reporting your TNA findings and recommendations 
 
Afternoon -  Application
•  Exploring case studies and participant workplace situations

26-Jun-2013 SA - Free to Member Event - End of Financial Year Hurrah!

Welcome to the 'AITD-SA End of Financial Year Hurrah' at The Adelaide Casino's North Restaurant, over-looking the magnificent South Australian Parliament House.  Join us in a fun-filled night as we network and share a collection of random and amusing stories, business successes, challenging situations, 'what the ???' moments and life-changing events experienced within our respective industries and workplaces during the 2012-13 Financial Year.

It will be an evening of fun, laughs, education (perhaps), insights and the chance to swap business cards, LinkedIn invites or at the very least, your business/professional contact details on a hand-written napkin, drink coaster or dodgy EOFY tax receipt.  In keeping with the EOFY theme (our South Australian Parliament House backdrop and the looming Federal Election), there is an expectation of sorts that participants will represent a significant and/or humorous member of Australian or International politics.

Quite simply, wear or carry something low-key, inoffensive and politically correct that is aligned to your selected politician, for your chance to win a prize! To start you off, go visual on Mr  Abbott's life-saver's cap, Ms Hanson's Pocket Dictionary, Mr Dunstan's summer polyester safari suit and walking sox, or Ms Julie Bishop's death-stare.  Or don't go visual.  Regardless, to maintain your reputation within Adelaide's public arena, one would recommend that selected attire/accoutrements are those which can be easily hidden (or smuggled) in a handbag, pocket, or pair of Speedos until you reach the safety of your destination: the upstairs 'Loft' Function Room at The Adelaide Casino's North Restaurant.

The event will provide a professional yet relaxed atmosphere for AITD members and invited non-members to interact and discuss a range of Training and Development, and other associated workplace matters.  The EOFY and political theme has been selected to coincide with business scheduling across all sectors, the upcoming Federal Election, and the evening's venue which is conveniently located adjacent to the South Australian Parliament House.

AITD-SA members are encouraged to invite a non-member from their workplace or academic institution.  The President of the AITD SA Divisional Council, Jane Calleja, will commence with a five minute welcome to all attendees, a quick brief on the 'benefits of AITD' to the non-members present, and an update on AITD National and State matters.  

The networking component will then lead to short 'timed' discussions based on five key workplace prompts to direct conversation towards positive and negative Training and Development and/or associated industry matters experienced throughout the 2012-13 Financial Year.  Networking 'how to' guides will be strategically placed around the function room and on the reverse of the 'prompt' palm-cards for the benefit of those attendees who may be unfamiliar with the networking process.  The five workplace prompts relating to FY 2012-13 will include:

     •  Amusing/random stories
     •  Business successes
     •  Challenging situations
     •  'What the ???' moments
     •  Life-changing experiences.

As training professionals, one would hope that we acknowledge that we all have something to learn.  While learning first-hand from our surroundings is a good thing, learning from other people can be so much better.  How other people view, interpret and communicate the very same things that you've 'already learned' may just give you that carbon-tax exempt 'light-globe moment' you've been waiting for.

This event is an opportunity to learn about your surrounds from someone else whom you may totally concur with, fervently disagree with, or just stay listening to for the sake of curiosity! 
The political link gives us three key takeaway points:
1.  Firstly, it's a timely reminder of where we sit in the business cycle and the political, economic and social factors that influence our workplace and our stakeholders.
2.  Secondly, it provides direction for deriving strategy and implementing operations, based on what we're continuously learning from our surroundings as well as those people we've met, either through  business partnerships or 'Networking 101'.
3.  Lastly, it's a fitting way to see out the old Financial Year and welcome in the new one!

28-Jun-2013 NSW - Training Evaluation Strategies - 1 day workshop

Do you find yourself skipping on the evaluation at the end of a training program?
Perhaps you haven't been sure what value you would gain from including an evaluation strategy?
Struggling to get past anything more than a 'happy sheet' to evaluate learning?

If this is the case then this workshop will help you revisit your evaluation practices and provide a renewed perspective.  Evaluation of learning is a vital yet often overlooked or underestimated component of many development programs.  Demonstrating the value of training dollars spent on identifying ways to create more impact in the business helps maintain a clear line of value in the business.

The aims of  the workshop are:
•  To create a renewed interest in applying evaluation strategies for the improvement of learning and development delivery
•  To find ways to ensure your training plans are aligned to business strategies
•  To create demonstrable value to the business for development programs provided
•  Creating focus on delivering outstanding quality in programs and learning solutions delivered

In this workshop we will explore the process, tools and techniques used to evaluate learning programs.  Participants are asked to bring along their evaluation tools for work-shopping.  Throughout the day participants will have opportunities to apply the principles explored and share their ideas, lessons learnt and success experienced.


Learning Outcome

•  Identify when and how to prepare an evaluation strategy to meet business needs
•  Work with the business and stakeholders to establish expectations of a program
•  Apply the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation in your workplace
•  Develop a user friendly set of evaluation tools
•  Explore the analysis of an evaluation
•  Review outcomes and identify actions
•  Prepare a findings report
•  Create links with other learning and Development Professionals for ongoing discussion and support

Agenda

•  The role of evaluation in a learning environment
•  Aligning business need to evaluation strategies
•  The application of evaluation in the workplace
•  Evaluation tools, templates and techniques
•  Analysing results
•  Outcomes and actions
•  Report findings and review strategies
•  Creating connections

29-Jul-2013 QLD/NT - Instructional Design Essentials - 1 day workshop

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN ESSENTIALS  
A one-day introduction to Instructional Design

No matter what format you use to deliver your training, it is still essential that training professionals deliver good quality materials which have been developed using a sound Instructional Design framework.   This training workshop will familiarise you with adult learning principles, instructional design models, and the different phases involved in a training project.  This workshop is suited more for those relatively new to instructional design and looking for some flexible guidelines for building effective training material.

This workshop will cover:
•  Familiarisation with adult learning theories and the role of instructional designer
•  The five phases of the ADDIE Model
     1.  Analysis
     2.  Design
     3.  Development
     4.  Implementation
     5.  Evaluation
•  The activities carried out in each phase of the ADDIE Model
•  Instructional writing - structure, sequencing material and chunking
•  What else do you need to consider for great instructional design?

Presented by Peter Thompson

30-Jul-2013 QLD/NT Beyond Addie - Putting the DESIGN into Instructional Design - 1 day workshop
Beyond ADDIE:  Putting the DESIGN into Instructional Design

In a formal approach to instructional design, the designer is confronted with a range of processes many of which can be considered a version of the ADDIE approach (Analyse – Design – Develop – Implement – Evaluate).  While these processes provide a valuable guide for ensuring that training programs are designed to meet organisational needs, it requires additional discipline to remain focused on the learner and how the learner learns.


Research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience over recent years has yielded vital information about what interferes with learning and what facilitates learning.  This program complements other AITD offerings by exploring how to incorporate effective presentation design for slides, eLearning screens and documents so your program meets not only organisational needs but also, importantly, the needs of the learners’ brains.


Learning Outcomes

Learn how to:
•    Avoid the trap of using design that looks attractive but interferes with learning
•    Avoid the trap of using the latest fad in technology simply because it is there
•    Identify an approach that matches the content and skills to be learned
•    Apply visual presentation techniques that are both attractive and effective for learning
•    Identify which technologies will support the learning outcomes of your instructional design

Key Content

•    Eight research-based principles for effective visual presentation
•    Essential principles for good design for screen layouts, slides and documents
•    Principles that apply to all forms of training delivery
•    Difference between traditional face-to-face learning and eLearning
•    Some myths about learning that you should forget

Participants of this workshop will need a working knowledge of Instructional Design.  
We also encourage you to bring your laptop and some examples of ID projects you may be working on (or about to embark on).  If time permits we will incorporate some time to enable you to apply the principles covered earlier in the day.
