Hi Thabisile, I have Level 4.

Hi Louise

I  agree,  I’ve seen materials that were sloppy cut-and-paste jobs from the internet. So, count me in.

Spot on!

(No, you left out the following:  You have to be a cross between an academic, a teacher and an accountant.)

Hi Cas

Working, thanks Sylvia 🙂

“Providers should show courage by advertising their competence in terms of meta-learning, meta-cognition, thinking skills, etc and achieving the learning outcomes as a spin-off.”

I think this statement encapsulates it.  Do we all know what meta-learning and meta-cognition are, how to achieve the outcomes as a spin-off? I for one would like…[Read more]

Thanks, Sylvia, but the ‘next’ button isn’t working :(. I’ll log out and in again and see if that works.

I’m reposting as there was no reply button, and I seem unable to get to page 2, so apologies for cutting in here:

And so I’m waiting for a client who will let me write the learner workbook in such a way that it leads the learner to construct the ‘manual’ by exploring problems, doing research, thinking, discussing, grappling – and going through a wide range of higher order thinking skills –  and then arriving at the ‘material’, in other words, a learner…[Read more]

Hi Cas, thanks for your response.

I think part of the problem is that one writes for a client who hands it over to a facilitator, who is often a freelancer, and the developer, training company and facilitator often have divergent ideas about teaching / training. I had one client (who is no longer active on this forum) who told me my material was…[Read more]

Hi Cas

I agree. 
The next question is:  As a developer, I find that clients resist updating their mental frameworks, and I understand that, as the main concern is always accreditation.  How do we get around this?  How do we deal with training companies that want the traditional manual with all the information required, like a condensed text boo…[Read more]
