Pipi Learning

Elizabeth has loved eLearning for years, and thanks to the early adopters and revolutionary thinkers who understood that online learning is about equity and accessibility, she is no longer screaming into the void. 

Her Ph.D in Psychology, post-doc research, and years of working in tertiary and vocational education certainly helped prepare Elizabeth for the fight to bring the amazing opportunities online learning can offer to the widest possible audience.

When and how do learners learn online?

The learner profile has changed and increasing numbers of vocational education and training providers are building flexibility into their programmes by offering online learning. Although learners report high satisfaction with (good quality) eLearning, there is a paucity of data on how learners actually engage. Method. GA4 event-based tracking was embedded into the Pipi Learning Moodle LMS, which currently hosts eLearning from six vocational education and training providers. Learners were required to allow tracking, creating a sample population of users. Robust user data protection settings were enabled, so certain information including specific course participation and location data were anonymised.
