Make the right choice between digital or paper documentation - with confidence and clarify.
Are you weighing up whether to go digital or paper documentation — or perhaps wondering if a blend of both is right for you?
The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. And with so much pressure to “keep up” or “go digital,” it’s easy to feel unsure, overwhelmed, or worried about making the wrong move for your families, children, or compliance.
That’s where this course comes in.
Our Digital or Paper? Tutorial is a practical, reflective course that will help you choose the programming method that best works for your service. It is the perfect course to critically reflect with your context in mind, not only supporting you to find the best method, but also creating evidence of your intentional practice.
It will empower you to make the best decision for your unique context.
What's included:
- PDF Workbook you can print or type directly into to keep your notes and reflections,
- Activities and critical reflection prompts to help you apply your learnings,
- Links and resources on the topic, and
- the digital course.
You will have forever access to these and any amendments.
Inside the course, you’ll learn:
- Understand the benefits and limitations of digital vs paper documentation across different service types
- Make an informed decision that supports your team’s wellbeing, time, and confidence
- Identify the approach that aligns best with your pedagogy, programming cycle, and families
- Feel prepared for Assessment and Rating, whichever method you choose
- Implement tools and strategies to streamline your process — no matter your documentation style
Because documentation should work for you, not against you.
