How Bliss Consulting Online Learning Centre works

Overview Key Features Content How OLC works Requirements

Currently the Online Learning Centre is CD Based, and is downloadable as appropriate directly onto an Intranet web server.

The service offers both audio and text instructions assisting the user throughout the entire program.

To demonstrate each research task, a legal scenario/question has been developed, such as "I want to find High Court cases that refer to section 52 of the Trade Practices Act."

The user can select from a wide variety of simulated research tasks, for example:

How to find a Commonwealth Act
How to find High Court cases that refer to a section of an Act
How to find assent and commencement details of a Queensland Act
How to find explanatory memorandum for Victorian Bills since 1996
How to print a Case
How to find a regulations made under a New South Wales Act

To commence their training, the user selects a relevant task from the introduction page and progresses through an interactive, simulated research exercise on a step-by-step basis.

At the completion of each task the user is taken live to the research web site whilst the steps remain fresh in their minds.

It is a commonly known fact that for trainees to both retain and then apply information when needed can be a difficult process.

The Online Learning Centre allows a user to access training tasks at the most convenient time for them, whether that is early morning, late at night or when research is actually to be done.

"Natalie is an excellent trainer, whose practical approach and hands on sessions are always very useful. You will remember and be able to put into practice everything you learn from Natalie" - Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, Melbourne Office Librarian

"Our subscribers are always telling us how much they get out of Natalie's training sessions. Her preparation, knowledge of electronic legal research techniques and presentation style are fantastic. She makes it easy for anyone to improve their legal research skills." - TimeBase
