Bridge the Gap Between E-Learning and Compliance

- Quality and Compliance
Compliance training, in too many training organisations, is dangerously close to an oxymoron. No matter how rigorous and compelling our Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) may be, compliance related training programs, especially in e-learning, are routinely boring, stale, and lacking in any real impact.
For any compliance related training, we build the courses because we have to, and our learners watch them because they have to. But no one pays any more attention than the absolute minimum required. This second-rate status is only natural. Unlike the majority of vocational training programs, which are born directly from an industry need or opportunity, compliance-training programs are foisted upon us without any perceived need from within.
Across the globe, higher education institutions and professional organisations are harnessing the power of digital badges to motivate, demonstrate, and validate learning and development (L&D). Digital badges are currently in use at postsecondary institutions such as MIT, organisations such as NASA, and the U.S. Department of Education. In Australia, the Industry Skills Council for Innovation & Business Australia (IBSA) has recently started to use digital badgets for its own professional development training.
