Lights, Camera & Action! by Linda Johnston FeLC- Business Services (Retail & Personal Services)
2009 is the year of Action for me
Supporting Colleagues
To reinforce and refresh my own learning I’ve started to roll out sessions with my colleagues especially in Retail, Community Pharmacy & Personal services.
This year I have had demand from colleagues who previously weren’t engaged are now asking me for help. Which is fantastic because they knew where to go to for help.
Adobe Connect has been engaging my Community Pharmacy colleagues who are looking at viable ways to deliver workplace training especially in distance locations.
In Retail my colleagues are asking for help with: online resources, wikis, how to do powerpoint and use a data projector for face to face delivery to engage their students.
Personal services have asked me to help them establish units on Moodle.
This year has certainly started off to be a year of action!
Supporting Industry
Another exciting moment I had recently was being approached by a pharmacy. The business wanted to establish how they could learn to use technology because they would like to run instore health promotions in store.
After assessing their needs I was able to match a unit of competency to the desired training and incorporate it into Cert IV in Community Pharmacy traineeship for the senior staff member. The unit is called ‘Select an eBusiness Model’. Initially, I put together a presentation of how they could use moviemaker as a stepping stone and to build their confidence in this area. Last week they were so impressed, they can’t wait for me to show the trainee how to do this and then apply her learning to the pharmacy, they believe that both the business and the community will benefit from this.
It is so rewarding to share my learning from The Learning Technologies Team to our customers.
Being apart of this amazing team has given me so much knowledge which now I can share confidently with my colleagues and customers.

Hi Linda,
It’s fantastic to hear about what you’ve been doing an how busy you’ve been already this year. Great to hear that you are in demand and that your team is building their capability with the technologies and tools available.
Very exciting to hear that you are working so closely to meet the needs of our customers, ‘Select an eBusiness Model’ sounds like a great unit.
Yes, the team certainly has been working hard to build and share knowledge, support colleagues, and promote e-Learning practices in the allocated time.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to sharing the 2009 -2010 e-Learning Vision with you soon.
Warmest,
Alex
Great start to the new year Linda. I too am finding that there is an increase in the amount of interest, especially from the trades area which is just fantastic.
Linda,
You are an inspiration!
