Developing quality training approaches for effective property tax adminsitration
Grover, Richard
A number of countries are in the process of introducing taxes based on the value of real estate. The paper describes a project to create an e-learning course to train those involved in the valuation and administration of such taxes. Market value real estate taxes help countries tackle the problem of declining company tax yields and are fairer than other real estate taxes. Some of the countries introducing market value taxes appear to lack capacity in valuation and the course produced by this project seeks to address this problem. The use of e-learning helps to develop courses that are better suited to the needs of individual students. This is important when students come with different prior learning. They are well-suited to programme learning approaches and the transmission of knowledge. This conflicts with educational theories that support learning by discovery. A challenge in e-learning is to develop approaches that develop understanding and skills through experience.
