60: Lessons from converting and facilitating courses online – Jennifer Waltmon, Dr Cathryn Lloyd and Chemene Sinson

In the five and a half months since COVID-19 hit learning teams around the world have grappled with converting courses designed for classroom facilitation to live online facilitation.  Early in the pandemic the Australian Institute of Training Development (AITD) decided to six courses.  Jennifer Waltmon, the AITD’s Programs and Content Manager, joins this episode alongside two of the conversion team members, Dr Cathryn Lloyd and Chemene Sinson.  They reflect on the experience of converting so many courses simultaneously, the parallels and differences between designing courses for face to face versus online delivery, and what they’ve learned about facilitating effective online learning experiences.
