• Word/PDF training available now as a face-to-face training
• Target audience is primarily content authors
• People send their expression of interest
• Numbers trained so far is approx. 70
• Integration of Customs and Immigration = larger demand– Local and regional offices – Limited capacity /resources to deliver the
training.
Role-based training
Department of Immigration and Border Protection 7
• Developed an eLearning module in collaboration with DIBP’s eLearning team
• “Creating Accessible Word and PDF Documents”
• Integrated into the department’s learning management system – OurPeople– Automatic reporting– Available to all staff members– Enhances our face-to-face training in the
subject matter– Allows us to develop more role based training.
• Work with Learning and Development to make the module mandatory for specific job roles

• Key considerations for the module are– engaging and attractive– leverages known instructional design used
by DIBP– content mirrors face to face training– WCAG 2.0 compliant– students can work at their own pace– can be used as a reference.
