LEARNING METHODOLOGY
Meeting the needs of 21st century learners
DIALOGIC LEARNING
WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING
REFLECTIVE LEARNING
Dialogic Learning
emphasises learning in which dialogue is both the objective and the mode of active learning in collaborative learning environments. Dialogic learning is central to an open, democratic and egalitarian learning setting where everyone can be heard and learning happens among participants (not ‘to’ them). Dialogic Learning should be collective (with everyone encouraged to contribute and participate), reciprocal (as much about listening to others as telling them something), supportive (free of fear of ‘errors’), cumulative (with discussion chains across and deeper into particular ideas) and purposeful (focused on working towards particular goals and objectives).
IMPACTIVE LEARNING MODEL
This model is used extensively across NESLI’s professional development programs, and is the result of intensive development and refinement over a number of years.
Work Integrated Learning
works from the notion that learning that is drawn from and then re-embedded in real work contexts is much more likely to be rich, practical, meaningful and memorable. Based on the themes and challenges engaged within the ongoing coursework, participants are provided with (or build on their own) practical tool kits to take back into their regular work contexts, and are regularly prompted to re-connect and reflect on what they are noticing, applying and accommodating in their real work lives.
Reflective Learning
involves considering past and present work and life experiences in the context of trying new things or re-evaluating one’s beliefs, mindsets and behaviours. Reflective Learning is essential in accommodating new ideas, information and experience.
Dialogic Learning underpins rich reflection on work-integrated learning and peer interactions. The combination of these elements creates a very powerful learning methodology and is the foundation of NESLI’s approach to leadership development.
We also believe in the role and importance of professional and academically robust evaluation. To assist in this process we are able to draw on a number of highly qualified academic professionals with significant expertise in evaluation and measurement of professional learning initiatives.
INNOVATIVE LEARNING PRACTICE
By combining the benefits of connected dialogic learning with easy to use and immersive online environments we create high quality learning experiences flexible enough to meet the needs of 21st century learners. Our digital learning department is highly proficient in the design and delivery of high quality learning materials that support interactive and collaborative learning across multiple modalities. Going far beyond the typical online experience, we create multimodal learning environments that deeply immerse participants in the learning experience whilst being easily accessible from their workplace.
NEW STANDARD IN ONLINE LEARNING
AND LEARNER SUPPORT
NESLI’s online learning environment includes the very latest and best in established online learning practice including video, animation, quizzes, written/recorded submissions, real-time feedback and participant generated discussion forums. Also, incorporated into this environment are asynchronous discussion boards and collaboration spaces where learners can engage in professional conversations in the lead up to or reflecting upon their workshop sessions. We provide highly-experienced online facilitators who moderate and mediate these discussions, ensuring that learners have constant access to supportive and engaging communities of practice. This unparalleled level of interaction empowers our participants to co-construct and share their learning journey with peers across the country and the world.
Our engagement and support services department is also an essential component of our continued success. All participants are taken through a guided and involved support process as they work through their course. Capable of managing several thousand online learners at any one time, our team employs detailed check-lists to ensure that program participants remain engaged and actively supported throughout the learning cycle.
Our market leading, learner centric approach to online learning drives very high satisfaction and completion rates across all our programs and is one of the hallmarks of the NESLI initiative.
