About the Project

Tourism Noosa developed the Noosa Eco Check course to assist businesses in implementing environmentally friendly business practices that will save money and also support Noosa in becoming a truly sustainable and eco-friendly destination.

The project requirement was to develop a course for a wide range of learners that would feel relevant and engaging. The audience were varying members of the community who ran businesses in Noosa. It was necessary that the Noosa Eco Check course ensured the learner completed all seven sections before they were then directed to a further Self-Assessment in their Moodle LMS.

The Result

The solution used a variety of techniques to engage with learners including a centralised menu where learners could choose each topic at their own pace. The course used imagery in various ways to highlight case studies as well as video and voice-narration to ensure the learner understood the content. Interactions were used to engage the users and a video streaming service was used to ensure videos were viewed in high quality across all devices. We used a menu slide to track the learner’s progress through the course and notified the learner when they had successfully completed a section, thus moving them to choose another section. We created a self-assessment activity inside of Moodle which we pointed users to when they finished the course.
