Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (Rural Fire Service) approached us at VMP eLearning to collaborate on a ‘Grassland Field Observer’ eLearning module. Until now, Queensland was using Victoria’s module, and given that the landscape and grassland across Queensland are very different in comparison to those in Victoria, a more specific module for volunteers was required. The module is an induction-type course for volunteers who have put their hands up to be Grassland Observers, so they understand their duties, as well as how to record their data. The module includes animated scenarios, interactive activities , and voiceovers to keep the users engaged throughout. The course can also be used as a refresher tool for people returning as observers, or those looking to brush up on their knowledge of the role. There is no limit on the number of times someone can go through the module, making it an excellent reference point for new and existing Grassland Observers. VMP eLearning is exceptionally proud of the work we have completed with Queensland Fire & Emergency Services and is looking forward to continuing the relationship to help ensure our local heroes have the highest quality information at all times.
