E-learning Projects in Tasmania

Tasmania has secured funding from the Australian Flexible Learning Framework to deliver innovative e-learning solutions in the State during 2009, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Heather Butler, said today. Ms Butler said that e-learning was an integral part of the national training system. It promotes the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the flexible delivery of education and training to respond to the training needs of Tasmanian businesses and learners, she said. Ms Butler said that a total of $288,800 has been awarded to develop and manage 13 e-learning innovation programs specifically tailored to Tasmania's vocational education and training (VET) priorities outlined in the Tasmanian Skills Strategy.
