Congratulations to the team at Headshift Australasia who, together with their client, the Institute of Executive Coaching (IEC), have won a Platinum Award for “Best use of Social Learning Tools” at the prestigious LearnX Asia Pacific 2010 E-learning and Training Awards.
IEC provides education around leadership development and executive coaching in the Asia-Pacific region. Its programs offer professional coaches a mix of pre- and post- training exercises, as well as face-to-face training. IEC was looking for a way to extend client engagement at the pre- and post-training stages of their programs and encourage participation with other learners. They engaged Headshift to create a series of customised community platforms based on Elgg.
The project was a huge success, resulting in:
- Increased visibility and community participation;
- Greater rapport between delegates, enabling them to work together more effectively at the face-to-face training sessions; and
- Improved transparency and accountability through the online community, which ultimately led to an increase in course completion rates.
Further details can be found here. It’s a great example of how Elgg can be used to foster collaboration and improve engagement and participation in the e-learning space.
Many thanks to Anne Bartlett-Bragg and her team at Headshift for sharing this great news with us. Do you have an example of a great Elgg implementation you’d like to share on this blog? If so, get in touch!
