Exciting Times

One of the more ambiguous Chinese curses or blessings are the words, "May you live in exciting times." It certainly asks the question which it is. Overall, I'd have to say exciting wins out for me. At Mtraining we have been going from strength to strength and certainly been having some exciting times of our own.

One of the challenges that we have been facing is how do we best use the resources that we have. We own around 5000+ resources covering a whole raft of areas in the VET sector. These have been acquired from a range of places over a period of time and cover everything from some really good Transport and Logistics references to Food handling to Business topics under almost every Training Package used in the Australian Education Landscape.

Part of our exciting times is the process of moving these from static, unused and unknown resources to something that can be used by everybody attached to our business. We are moving these resources into an online format using our Moodle servers and updating content to bring it inline with the existing training packages. We plan to supplement this with an exhaustive range of interactive activities and videos.

The excitement is figuring out how this all works and how best to move through this process. If you have any thoughts feel free to share.
