$5.3 million nationwide for e-learning innovation

More than 145 projects have been awarded a share of $5.3 million to develop innovative e-learning training solutions in all states and territories in 2009.

The funding, provided by the national training system’s e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework), aims to support and enable innovation so that e-learning is embedded as an integral part of the vocational education and training (VET) system.

Led by registered training organisations (RTOs), this year’s E-learning Innovations projects will focus on:
supporting business-training provider partnerships that drive the integration of e-learning into business and training
empowering individual learners by stimulating demand, providing greater choice, responding to the needs of disadvantaged learners, and increasing RPL (recognition of prior learning).
The projects have the potential to benefit the national training system by creating personalised e-learning solutions for learners and providing targeted workforce development through partnerships between businesses and RTOs.
