The LearnX Live Awards
Best Blended Learning Model | Platinum Winner
The 'Best Blended Learning Model' award focuses on a blended learning model in which two or more delivery methods are used to support/advance employee learning and business performance. The Diploma of Social Media Marketing is delivered in face-to-face settings, live virtual classrooms and as an asynchronous online experience by over 35 partner Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). It has integrated social learning in dedicated Facebook or WhatsApp groups and a private Facebook alumni group.
Best Certification Training Project | Diamond Winner
This award focuses specifically on a learning and development (L&D) project that issues a certificate to participants upon satisfactory training/course completion. There have been over 10,000 students enrolled in the Diploma of Social Media Marketing since its launch to market in 2016.
The Judging Criteria
In order to apply for the awards, one must meet a challenging set of standards. These include:
Meeting Business Needs to demonstrate there was a business need that led to our organisation developing a solution.
Strategic Alignment to the organisational learning strategy and objectives of Social Media College. At SMC, we aim to provide high-class social media education in diverse and accessible formats, with content written by industry experts to create a highly engaging and comprehensive qualification. Our Diploma also provides university articulation.
Design for the Diploma of Social Media Marketing includes face-to-face, virtual classroom and self-paced asynchronous delivery. The asynchronous learning content supports the face-to-face and virtual delivery, and is designed across 6 units. Each unit has up to 9 modules, with a strong emphasis on adult learning principles and social learning.
Delivery through a partner network of the best RTOs within Australia who can choose and blend the delivery modes that best suits their organisation and students. It was decided to develop the Diploma for all delivery modes, as particularly in 2020, face-to-face delivery was often restricted. By providing regular training and professional development opportunities for the trainers, together, we aim to provide the best outcomes for the students.
Once again, we congratulate our Head of Learning Design, Neil Von Heupt and our entire learning team at Social Media College on this achievement as we celebrate this news with you.
This is an extraordinary accomplishment, and further confirmation that the Diploma of Social Media Marketing provides cutting edge content, engaging learning, highly comprehensive end-to-end social media education, and the leading skills and knowledge for a successful career in social media!
