We would like to send condolences to all affected by the terrible Victorian bushfires. If you would like to help, please consider donating to the Red Cross Appeal 1800 811 700. EFA Victoria is taking donations to help members. https://myofficeonline.com.au/efa/efadonation.php
As soon as further information comes through on how horse owners can be assisted, we will post it online. Otherwise, please use your horse networks, support and help each other. After human needs; needs for horses would include hay, agistment, poly pipe to get water to troughs and fencing materials as early items. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now the project is finished we aim to maintain the site as an on-going repository of coaching resources - and as a way for coaches, coach educators and coach candidates to share information and ideas. We encourage you to participate by putting up lesson plans or coaching tips (see the relevant pages); you can also let us know if you are available to help coach candidates (by adding your own website or blog info on the coaching connections page) or by entering the details on the calendar page if you are running clinics or training days - or just by giving feedback to the contributors.
What did the original project in 2008 cover?
E-Learning Project 2008
Original project goals and outcomes:
We looked at options to value-ad to the services that coaches provide to their students. Many coaches have to travel to compete leaving their students with no help, are their tools that coaches can use to keep in touch with their students. We tested a few with possibilities.
Guest speakers came to demonstrate and discuss new tools and ideas in development that may make it easier to explain concepts and instructions to riders - how difficult is it for riders to learn how much tension is needed to have an effective contact on the reins, how do we really know how much force they are exerting when they use their legs or seat (mainly by the horse's response of course but could we use other tools to check the efficient use of their whole leg or to check for equal pressure from the rider and equal response from the horse) -other sports use technology to give better feedback-why not in equestrian sport?
We also looked at live video feedback technology and there are some exciting options in development here too. Have a look at the tools and websites page to see some of the items we investigated.
Some feedback from a team member re Workshop 2
'Thank you for another stimulating day. The more you find out the more you want to know. The guest speakers were full of information for us and hopefully we should be able to make something for ourselves from all this. The range of e-learning resources we have trialled certainly have applicability to improving our income stream as well as the services we can provide to our learners from a distance'

What's this site about?
This wiki was set up intially thanks to funding from the Flexible Learning Framework to allow a group of interested coaches to learn how to develop and use a wiki as a tool to encourage communication between coaches and to provide sample lesson plans and other tips for those preparing for a an equestrian coaching career.Now the project is finished we aim to maintain the site as an on-going repository of coaching resources - and as a way for coaches, coach educators and coach candidates to share information and ideas. We encourage you to participate by putting up lesson plans or coaching tips (see the relevant pages); you can also let us know if you are available to help coach candidates (by adding your own website or blog info on the coaching connections page) or by entering the details on the calendar page if you are running clinics or training days - or just by giving feedback to the contributors.
How to find your way around the site.
| |  |
| Use the page index on the left to access other pages. We are trying to limit the number of pages so you can't get lost wading through pages and pages of information. There are page links on each page to help you find your way back. Or look for the Home link at the top of the index or in the blue toolbar. | A wiki is different to a regular website because you are encouraged to add content to the pages. If you want to add information to a page click (sometimes you need to double click) on the easy edit icon seen here above the Lesson plans and ideas heading above the photo. |
 |  |
| Once you have opened the easy edit icon you should see this screen. Just add or delete text, add photos etc in the main part of the page below the page heading. Only moderators can change page titles and a few other items but if you want to suggest changes contact the moderator via the members page (see below for more info). | You can use the discussion forum section in the blue heading toolbar at the top of the page to see the previous comments and to start a new thread. The what's new section summarises recent changes to the site. Click on the other headings to see what else is available. |
 |  |
| Please add your profile in the members section (in the blue heading toolbar) so we know a bit about you. | The thread area at the bottom of each page allows you to start a topic relevant to the page theme. |
  |  |
| There are other tools available so you can email a page to someone, add tags to an image or document (tags are words you might use to search for content on a website or wiki you are interested in). Under the more tools heading you can also add attachments - such as lesson plans. | Attachments are stored at the bottom of each page |

Hi all
I have to say I am finding this site somewhat difficult to navigate. I have looked at the thread below (JNewall who has put up a lesson plan) but I can't find the lesson plan she speaks of. Can anyone help> I would love to be a bit more pro-active but it's a tad off putting...could well be my lack of logical thought of course! Cheers Sally |
