Regular Updates to the MAClearning System

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Please see below information from DoHAC regarding the implementation of regular MAClearning updates to come.

Regular updates to the MAClearning system

We would like to advise that will be commencing regular updates to the MAClearning system.

Context

• To maintain the content and function of the MAClearning system, we will need to undertake regular system updates. This includes fixing errors in learning elements or repairing systems errors.
• Our first update in August 2023, implemented a number of quality improvements as well as new content. It also provided us with knowledge about the impact of any updates on learners.
• To make sure we can maintain system function and reduce any disruption for learners, we are proposing to commence a schedule of regular updates to MAClearning. By setting a regular schedule for updates, it will allow us to provide plenty of warning to learners and trainers, while fixing minor errors efficiently.
• Regular updates will occur monthly commencing on the first Tuesday in February 2024 (6 February 2024). Between now and February we are proposing to schedule updates when required.
• To support these updates, we will send email advice to all user communities one week prior to the update which includes a summary of the proposed changes.

Current situation

• We are aware that there are currently some faults with the existing learning elements such as broken links and typos. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback, this update should address all of the feedback we have received so far.
• To fix these errors we are proposing to undertake an update on Thursday 16 November 2023.
• We need to load a new version of the learning element. During this update process learners who have not completed the element, will lose their progress to date and will need to repeat the element.
  • Can you please advise your learners to make sure they complete any of the elements below that they have commenced by Wednesday 15 November 2023.
• A summary of changes to elements is provided below for information.

Please contact MAClearninghelp@health.gov.au if you have any questions about this proposed system update process.
