The evolution and future directions of online compliance training.
1) Online compliance training has evolved from generic tick-box content to more personalized, on-demand modular content tailored to specific job roles.
2) Emerging technologies and social networking tools allow for more engaging, interactive and collaborative content creation and delivery methods.
3) Trends include offering off-the-shelf compliance content, personalizing content for different audiences, improving reusability of content assets, and providing just-in-time content updates across multiple delivery platforms.

4. What is compliance and why is it necessary?
Compliance is an organisation’s legal obligation to adhere to
prescribed statutes and standards.
Compliance is a mandatory requirement for all organisations
operating in Australia and governed by the Compliance Standard
NZS/AS 3806.
Obligations Include adherence with:
state and commonwealth legislation; and
industry body codes of practice
Obligations include:
Provision of appropriate training and instruction to staff and
contractors, done in a consistent and timely manner, with
validation and audit trail.

5. Why all the fuss over compliance?
We all want to work in a safe environment free from harassment
and discrimination.
We want businesses to compete on a level playing field so that
consumers get a fair deal.
Compulsory superannuation means we are all stock market
investors whether we like it or not. We want those companies to
behave in an ethical and risk averse manner to protect and grow
our investment.

6. The Visy Case – Fines & Brand Damage
Visy engaged in a four-year price-fixing and cartel scheme with
packaging rival Amcor, which is understood to have increased Visy's
market share from 47 to 55 per cent over a number of years and
affected 90 per cent of the $1.8 billion cardboard box market.
Fines could have been as high as $490 million, at $10mil per offence
and there were 49 offences being considered. Jail terms for executives
were also being discussed for future cases
In November 2007 Visy was fined $36 Million, CEO Harry Debney was
fined $1.5 million and former general manager Rod Carroll $500,000.
"Anyone in the past who has bought a block of chocolate or a
piece of fruit packed in a box made by Visy or Amcor has
probably been ripped off. " ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel

7. David Jones – Not a Normal Case
Kristy Fraser-Kirk sought penalties of $37mil for alleged sexual
harassment.
• Fraser-Kirk sought to prove breaches of her employment contract, the Trade
Practices Act, tort law and equity law, in the Federal Court, rather than the Human
Rights Commission.
• Fraser-Kirk claimed David Jones and/or McInnes breached their duty of care to her
by exposing her to unnecessary risks, and that McInnes trespassed upon her.
• Fraser-Kirk joined Mark McInnes personally as a respondent.
• Fraser-Kirk claimed David Jones had knowledge of McInnes’ conduct towards
female employees and took no action.
• She claimed David Jones breached the Fair Trading Act when, after the matter
came to public attention, the retailer and its directors made misleading statements
that there was not a culture of sexual harassment in the company.

12. Problems creating a compliance culture using eLearning
The law is complex and sometimes quite verbose.
If we abbreviate the content – which parts do we skip?
What happens if a breach occurs in an area that has not
been comprehensively trained on?
Legislation is continually changing, risks and penalties
are constantly changing, how often do we retrain?
Over time people will find ways to get through
unchallenging training.
How much training is too much? What about the time
costs of people in training / not working?
How can training be job role specific and still cost
effective?
How can we get people to actually do the training?
SLIDE 12 Ark - eLearning & Instructional Design Feb 2011
13. Carrot or Stick
Stick - Creating a compliance culture using eLearning - Commitment
Commitment to effective compliance training must come from the
very top. Board and Management must participate and actively
endorse the training program for it to be successful.
Compliance training must be aligned to business strategy. Training
programs must be designed to enhance and support staff, rather than
as a hurdle to doing business. Programs must have an element of
continuous improvement so as to become an integral part of day to
day work, rather than once off training events.
Appropriate resources must be allocated to the development of the
training program, its effective roll out, and ongoing maintenance.
Compliance objectives must be endorsed by senior management and
communicated to all staff.
Obligations must be identified and continually assessed for changes
to legislation and risk to the business.
SLIDE 13 Ark - eLearning & Instructional Design Feb 2011
14. Carrot or Stick
Stick - Creating a compliance culture using eLearning - Implementation
Responsibility for outcomes must be assigned throughout the
business, not confined to Learning & Development, Legal, or
Compliance functions.
Employees must be appropriately trained according to their job role
and the risks that they present to the business.
Compliance behaviours should be advanced by the training, and add
to the value of the employee to the business. Training should not be
static and constantly repeated.
Controls should be in place to identify recalcitrant employees and
those who are struggling. The Courts have shown that it is worse to
have an ineffective compliance program in place than none at all.
ACCC v Safeways
SLIDE 14 Ark - eLearning & Instructional Design Feb 2011
15. Carrot or Stick
Stick - Creating a compliance culture using eLearning – Monitoring &
Measuring
Compliance training programs must be monitored for
effectiveness, comprehensiveness and legal currency. There
is no set and forget with compliance. Eg. Safeway case.
Compliance with the training program can be evidenced.
Should the regulators arrive, you need to be able to produce
evidence of your compliance training program and its
effectiveness.

16. Previously……
• Users did not want to do the training
• Training was very time consuming and often lacked relevance to job roles
• Content was very text heavy
• Training tried to cover all possible topics
• Training had a one size fits all approach
Now…..
• There are new tools, new software, new approaches
• Content can be developed more quickly and with higher relevance to job
roles
• Content can be reused
• Content can be developed collaboratively
• A significant cultural change in the way we use technology – Social
Networking!

24. So what does this all mean? Why should I care?
• The rate of change is accelerating. Adoption of new
technology is not a choice!
• Email may not be the preferred form of communication
in future years.
• Accessibility to information will change the economics
of knowledge based industries.
• Corporate information and training must be
increasingly personalised to cut through the immense
amount of information received on a daily basis.
• If we want to drive cultural change we must work with
the collaborative cultural tools of tomorrow.

38. Trends in Content Management
One Content Many Delivery Channels (Interoperability)
SCORM compliant LMS is now a norm in most medium to large organizations and universities. SCORM compliant content has
become a minimum requirement. Blake Dawson’s plan of eventually make all existing content SCORM compliant will open doors
to clients that require learning to be deployed via their internal LMS
Off-the-shelf content
Expensive e-Learning content customization is no longer an option for most companies. Most e-Learning providers are pushing
“in-demand” compliance content by providing an affordable off-the-shelf product with option for specific area of customization
(scenario and case study).
Personalisation
In order for compliance learning to be effective, organisations are looking for more personalized learning (e.g. scenarios) for their
audience (per industry, job role and learning style). Organizations are looking for maximum impact with minimum effort.
Personalisation can be achieved through a content management system able to assemble learning assets that are tailored for the
individual and relevant context.
Reusability
A learning object is a resource, usually digital and web-based, that can be used and re-used to support learning.
Learning objects offer a new conceptualisation of the learning process: rather than the traditional "several hour chunk", they
provide smaller, self-contained, re-usable units of learning. They will typically have a number of different components, that
range from descriptive data to information about rights and educational level. At their core, however, will be instructional content,
and probably assessment tools.
Just in time
The speed in which content is updated and consistently delivered to various locations is becoming a competitive edge. With
compliance learning, the key is not just providing the content, it is about providing accurate information in a timely fashion via a
range of delivery platforms. Learning via mobile devices such as iPhone and blackberry are the next generation in learning
provision where different modes of learning become seamless and just-in-time.
38
SLIDE 38 Ark - eLearning & Instructional Design Feb 2011
39. Content Definition
Learning Object
There is no universal definition of a Learning Object.
The e-Learning standard SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) offers a framework on the description for a Learning
Object. However SCORM does not specify the type (quality) or the size (quantity) of content in a Learning Object. Hence a Learning
Object varies from one organization to another and one course to another.
A SCO (Sharable Content Object) is a Learning Object that has been tagged using the SCORM framework and therefore can be
searched, organized, tracked and delivered by SCORM compliant Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Content
Management System (LCMS) and Digital Repository.
The granularity of a SCO is determined by the individual organization and authors. A common characteristic of a SCO is that it
contains at least one learning objective / information. The more granular a learning object is the more opportunity it has to be
reused. On the other hand, the more granular a learning object is the more complicated it is to develop, manage and maintain.
