Abstract

UNE Partnerships, the competency based training and professional development arm of the University of New England in NSW has been using the Australian e-Learning platform, Web Training Toolbox by Janison Solutions to conduct training globally.  This poster will demonstrate innovative web based educational content and development tools including embedded web page editing functionality, presence awareness (who's online with me now!) and group communication tools that allow us to dynamically develop, modify, deliver and evaluate educational training from internet connected browsers regardless of location.  We will provide opportunities for attendees to participate in the creation and alteration of online courses and to experiment with how some of the 'presence awareness' and group collaboration tools work.  We will also demonstrate the unique web mirroring features of the Web Training Toolbox that allow us to develop and deliver courses to individuals connected to local servers in the different countries.  These individuals forming part of a development or study group that spans across hardware (web servers), national and international boundaries.
