Training professionals about intimate partner violence is a huge task requiring a theoretical framework that can address the complexity of the problem and highlight the need to be aware of power relationships and political dimensions of professional practice. This paper addresses the increasing recognition on the part of state agencies for specialist training in intimate partner violence as a critical component of an effective system response. The objective of the paper is to propose a feminist post- structuralist pedagogical model of delivering training to public professionals. We discuss issues of power, knowledge, and the discursive construction of the self. Our goal is to provide space for learners to think about what it means to embrace change agency and how to make a difference in their capacities as agents of the state. The paper concludes by proposing that an integrated model of learning is needed, one that goes beyond individualized responses and enables practitioners to develop the criticality and reflexivity central to a professional as a social change agent practice approach.

The inspiring points are there in bite size pieces to refer back to at any point. This draws the reader back to revisit parts of the publication that become more pertinent as they progress through the creative and development process of their own role-based e-learning projects. It is our opinion that Wills et al. have accomplished that which they set out to do. Wills et al. have produced a text that meets both the needs and the expectations of academics seeking to understand and engage with the exciting arena of role-based e-learning, using a practical, no nonsense approach. The text is accessible and the tables and diagrams are well placed and informative throughout. The book is packed with useful tables drawing comparisons between the many examples. The appendices are also useful, especially the list of contacts for each example, but also the notes and reflections.

This paper reports on the development and implementation in 2012 of McGill University’s French at Work program for McGill employees, using a blended learning model. The program is an example of how a reduction in face-to-face teaching presents one solution to employees’ scheduling constraints and how this model might offer suggestions for the development of similar programs in a higher education setting. McGill University’s French at Work program welcomes a diverse participant body from different faculties and service groups. Created in response to decreasing enrolment and higher levels of absenteeism, the authors report that interdepartmental collaboration and a complete course redesign, along pre- established professional themes, were required in its development. Using the University’s Learning Management System (Desire2Learn) the course incorporates in-class sessions, self-directed, web-based activities as well as synchronous and asynchronous online discus- sions employing Microsoft Lync. A subsequent increase in registration and retention rates strongly suggests the program answers a real need for professional development in French as a second language within McGill University through innovative use of certain technologies.
