Discussion Forums: From dreaded to dynamic in 6 simple steps
Did you know that discussion forums are a great way to create safe and inclusive learning environments? When thoughtfully designed, they provide space for all learners to contribute at their own pace, using text-based engagement that can reduce social barriers and enable more equitable participation.
However, many trainers struggle to realise this potential, and their discussion forums are met with crickets instead of conversation. It's time to turn those digital graveyards into thriving communities of engaged learners!
In this must-have workshop, you’ll learn the research-backed 6-step formula for discussion forum success, with actionable strategies you can immediately implement
Don’t let another course or term go by with discussion forums that fall flat. Join Deniese to unlock the secrets of creating dynamic, engaging online conversations that your learners will actually appreciate!

Master your webcam to unlock learner engagement and trust
26th May
Let's face it—the webcam has become an essential tool for all educators over the past several years. But here's what most people don't realise: research shows that the nature of your camera feed is significantly impacting the learning experience and outcomes for your learners.
​
Your. Face. Matters.
​
The reality is we have to master our webcams if we want to unlock learner engagement and trust. And I've done extensive research with learners to discover exactly how the way we come through on camera impacts their learning outcomes.
​
In this interactive 75-minute session, you'll discover practical, research-backed insights that are essential for all educators who appear on camera—whether that's in live online classes or pre-recorded videos. You'll learn tips and tricks you can immediately apply, regardless of what technology or equipment you have available.
​
While green screen won't be the main focus, I'll give you an overview of that technology (which is what you’re used to seeing me use). But regardless of what equipment you're using day to day, there are relevant insights in this webinar for anyone who appears on camera during live lectures and tutorials, and in those all-important pre-recorded videos.
BONUS: Get your copy of the 110-page Getting Started Guide for pro-level live feeds and efficiently created video content (one-take wonders with zero video editing required).

The learners we never get to meet: Research-backed strategies to support motivated learners who are stuck outside our digital doors
IN-PERSON EVENT: May 5-7 TDA Convention
Recent research reveals a shocking reality: 67% of adults motivated to work in aged care lacked the basic digital skills to even identify what training they need or find a training provider. These are learners we never get the chance to support because they remain stuck outside, unable to access the very programs designed to help them.
​
This newly published research exposes a fundamental gap in support strategies. While we invest heavily in digital orientation workshops and pre-course upskilling for enrolled learners, we're missing those who cannot navigate the initial steps of finding and accessing education. Our sophisticated support systems are invisible to learners who cannot complete basic internet searches or enrolment processes.
Through direct observation of 100 aspiring learners and subsequent comparative studies, this research demonstrates that motivated, suitable candidates are being blocked by removable digital barriers. When learners were assisted through digital upskilling before course commencement, completion rates soared from 53% to 84%. The difference wasn't motivation—it was access to relevant digital skills.
This presentation will reveal the scale of pre-enrolment digital barriers across our sector and share research-backed strategies that work. Attendees will learn practical, immediately implementable solutions including effective screening approaches, communication methods that reach digitally vulnerable learners, and reframing techniques that dramatically improve engagement.
These solutions don't require massive resource investment—they require thoughtful implementation of targeted interventions. As a researcher working directly with learners and trainers across Australia, Dr Cox will share evidence-based strategies that remove invisible barriers while improving both learner success and educator effectiveness.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights to reach the motivated learners currently stuck outside their digital doors, transforming potential into participation.
