Malcolm Kinns

Founder and Managing Director

Flexible, Blended and Online Learning Solutions was launched by Malcolm Kinns, following an extensive career building and improving technology driven education at two of Australia's largest private providers – Think Education and Thomson Education (now Open Colleges). Key achievements include vast improvements in the online student experience at both institutions through innovative and strategic approaches to the use of educational technology, online delivery, support and curriculum design, ultimately leading to improvements in student retention and growth in both revenue and profitability.

Services

Set you and your students up for success long into the future.

Need help defining your strategy for using technology in education? Not sure where the market is going, how MOOCs might affect your business or even where to start? The good news is that we can help. We can work with you to establish a clear strategy that aligns with your goals and can help set you and your students up for success long into the future.

With years of experience and knowledge across the vocational and higher education sector, we can help you identify key strategic drivers to grow and improve your blended and online delivery.

You know you need to improve your delivery, but where do you start? How do you prioritise? We can carry out a simple and painless evaluation of your current situation by looking at critical components relating to the student experience and can help you understand where your quick wins lie, as well as where you have mid-long term improvement opportunities.

We use a custom model to ensure that there is a methodical approach to the evaluation process and particularly where to focus your time and energy.

We can help you make the right decisions

Once you know where you are following the Evaluation, it is all about the best way forward. We have years of experience across several colleges in varying disciplines that can be called upon to help with this process.

We cover all aspects of the student experience - from best practice delivery to support, content and curriculum - we can help you make the right decisions and make the right improvements at the right time.

The secret to any successful project (large or small) is all about the implementation. Whether it be project management, change leadership or professional development, there is every chance that there will be little or no experience or capacity to deal with these challenges alongside the normal stresses and strains of running a day to day operation.

We can help provide the oversight, governance and support needed to ensure that these aspects are well managed and that the team are nurtured at every stage of the project.

Planning, process and execution are all things we pride ourselves on and add this to our experience and know-how in the field of blended and online education and you have the perfect recipe for success.

Finding the right solution for the problem.

Technology often seems like the answer to all woes. Unfortunately this is a common misconception when delivering education online or even in support of classroom learning. We know that it is all about understanding a unique set of requirements and then finding the right solution for the problem.

No project is exactly the same and no technology is always the right answer, but we have access to knowledge and experience across multiple platforms and by working with you, can help you make the right decision. Not only will this ensure that your institution is supported well for the future, but could save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Supporting the implementation of all aspects to ensure ongoing success.

Business success is always the key to any organisation's longevity, but what is the secret sauce? By combining all the service offerings of FBOL solutions you can expect to enjoy pay-back time and time again. Our record in identifying opportunities, growing revenue and profitability, while ensuring continuous improvements to the student experience is second to none. We will help you to identify the combination of factors that will work for your institution to drive sustainable growth, while supporting the implementation of all aspects to ensure ongoing success.

What People say

When the Ella Baché Board signed off on our online learning growth strategy in October 2013 I needed to move fast. The goal was to set up a state of the art educational technology platform to deliver our Diploma of Beauty Therapy in early 2014. Fortunately I knew where to go for help – FBOL Solutions​ to the rescue! Malcolm totally understood the challenges of creating top class interactive and engaging online course content and the technology required to deliver it effectively.

Working with the Ella Baché team FBOL​S​ had us up and running within six months and supported us through the first 12 months of delivery,​ with our Stellar Online Learning program now recognised as best practice in the Beauty sector. We continue to work with FBOL ​Solutions ​to ensure that both our courses and the technology underpinning delivery are of an exceptional standard.

Malcolm's attention to detail, analytical capability, passion for achieving great results and expert knowledge of on-line learning made him a great general manager at Think Education.

We have worked with FBOL S​olutions​ on ​a ​number of projects now and are always delighted with the results. Malco​l​m and his team have a deep understanding of the education sector, bring a wealth of experience and industry insight to the table and are always engaged and easy to work with. With each project the team has varied slightly ensuring the required mix of experience and expertise.

However, I think it is the fact that FBOL S​olutions​ take the time to really understand the business issue and have an uncanny ability to cut straight to the heart of the problem, however complex, that sets them apart. This is consistently reflected in the quality and relevance of their work.
