The experiences of contract and casual staff 'getting connected' with flexible delivery and online learning technologies and engaging in professional development is the focus of this report. The study finds a significant proportion of professional development relies heavily on learning by doing, informal learning, and networking with colleagues. The professional development needs of staff often become apparent after they use flexible delivery and online learning. Opportunities exist to increase informal learning and integrate contract and casual staff into wider working groups. The report is published in two volumes. Volume 1 is the main report while volume 2 contains the appendices and is available in PDF format only. |
