Resources for Delivering Online Learning
Online classes and digital learning has become the norm for learners, Adult Educators and Training Organisations alike. In IAL’s survey on Adult Learners’ Perception of Online Learning due to COVID-19, the top concerns for learners across the different age group include lack of interactions, whether among learners or between facilitators and learners. To support efforts to produce quality, interactive and engaging online learning, IAL is curating resources and tools that will help plug the knowledge and practice gaps of both learning designers, facilitators and training providers. View our list of curated Cost-Effective and Easy-to-use (CEE) tools, e-learning platforms, resources and government funding support information that you can reference to facilitate your digital journey.

Support for efforts to adopt CEE tools
Taking the words of A/Prof Matt Beane in Learning to Work with Intelligent Machines, there is a tension between mastering new (digital) tools and adapting tried-and-tested method of engagement toward new tools. He advocated giving ourselves ample time to do one thing after another instead of trying and failing both at the same time. Give yourself some runway to master new edtech tool and build up your comfort in using one. Finding the sweet spot of solution, that is both within your comfort zone and learners’ needs, might need a few iterations to get right. Join our learning events and workshops to shorten your learning curve or just join the inlab community to continue our dialogue on best practices and ways to overcome barriers and resistance in our journey of digitalising learning and training.
