The document discusses how an Australian rules football club implemented an e-learning system to provide online coaching content to players. It describes the challenges of previous systems being time-consuming and inflexible. It then explains how the club adopted a WordPress platform that allows coaches to easily create and share multimedia content from any device, providing players with accessible learning materials anywhere, anytime. The new system has addressed the limitations of prior approaches and received positive feedback from coaches and players.

10. What are the benefits of an online learning & communication platform? The Business Case
17. Coach = Content Creator “ It makes more sense to me to train the organisation ’s Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in rapid e-learning authoring. Then, whenever a learning need arises, the SME has both the knowledge and the skills to develop their own e-learning solution, quickly and effectively.” Ryan Tracey, ryan2point0.wordpress.com
Case study of implementing elearning solutions (critique what I show and give me some feedback - I am not the expert!)
Highlight how many decisions were made on and off ball that can be taught through e-learning
Our goals (and challenges) when looking at implementation of rapid elearning
Assessing “game knowledge” (compare with fitness testing), learning styles (afc player demographic is gen-y), anywhere/anytime capability, e-prep for meetings (makes meetings more interactive rather than just displaying content), maxed out physical training time
So as much as we would like more time to create content and develop coaches expertise the reality is we must be effective working within these constraints - “see the world as it is, not how you would like it to be”
Establishing value - ties in with culture. Most important step in the process. Mention business email story
Sportscode (save movie) > copy to windows directory > new ppt > import video (settings) > upload to connect server > move to appropriate folder on connect server > enrol users Outcome - content viewable on any computer with flash player installed, video is streamed
Sportscode/jing (save) > new post > upload video > insert into post > tag > publish Outcome - content viewable on computer and iphone, dynamic streaming
Compare amount of content uploaded at equivalent time of year - 16 pieces on wordpress v 8 pieces with connect
This is vital so that players are not just passively viewing the content. Coaches receive email notification when their post has a comment.
