Academic Research Papers by Dr. Judith McKeon
At MKLC Training, we don’t just deliver online learning — we also lead the conversation about what makes it effective.
Our Principal, Dr. Judith McKeon, has published research that shines a light on how vocational learners and teachers really experience online training. Each study is backed by data but written with learners in mind, and we’ve created short 5-minute explainer videos to make the insights easy to digest.
Perceptions of Vocational Learners on the Value of Online Training
What do vocational learners really think about online courses? This study asked teachers and trainers working towards qualifications, and the answers might surprise you. Learners didn’t just gain skills for work — they reported a boost in confidence, motivation, and even a renewed love of learning.
Evaluating Quality in Online Teacher Training: Insights from Student Feedback
What makes an online training course feel truly high-quality? According to MKLC’s students, it comes down to quick tutor feedback, clear communication, and flexible learning. This research digs into what worked well — and where improvements like more live interaction could make online teacher training even better.
Achievements and Attrition: Investigating an Online Course
Online courses are often accused of high dropout rates — but MKLC’s one-month teacher training course breaks the trend. With over 93% of learners completing successfully, this study explores why: strong tutor support, structured design, and a valuable qualification at the end kept busy adult learners on track.
