Framework Events
State and territory events wrap-up: Presentations now available
The annual e-learning end-of-year events, hosted by each state and territory through November and December, are over for another year.
The events brought together e-learning experts and novices from the vocational education and training (VET), community and business sectors to share insights and know-how on the latest e-learning resources, networks, trends and issues, including:
the low-down on social media tools, learning management systems and emerging technologies that support engaging and flexible training and assessment - this included Facebook, Flickr, Moodle, blogs, wikis, podcasts, web conferencing, Second Life, Twitter, point-of-view camera glasses, Nintendo Wii, interactive whiteboards and digital pens
using e-learning to engage specific learner groups, including remote and Indigenous learners, and learners with a disability
tools and strategies for managing issues such as copyright for the digital classroom, RPL (recognition of prior learning), auditing and e-assessment
getting started in e-learning using key Framework tools such as LORN, Flexible Learning Toolboxes, ARED, e-portfolios and the QTImPlayer
hints and tips from 2008 and 2009 E-learning Innovations projects, including the opportunity to get up close and personal with those responsible for some of Australia’s most innovative e-learning examples.
Keynote presentations featured at the events include:
Penny Neuendorf (ACT) – spoke bout the uses and benefits of virtual simulation and how e-learning could be used successfully in health education.
Annie Fergusson and Margaret Willis (NSW) – highlighted the current crisis of confidence in e-assessment in the national training system, and discussed the measures, including the Framework’s upcoming research, which need to be taken to ensure consistency and relevance of assessment processes.
Roger Bryett (NT) - kicked off the conference by highlighting the need for continued innovation and the importance of industry and training providers working together to present a united front in tackling the remote training delivery issues that are faced in the Territory.
Dominic Thurbon (QLD) – dazzled the audience with quirky stories to show how businesses can solve problems and drive better results with collaborative technology and innovation.
Professor Martin Westwell (SA) – offered the audience insight into a new generation of learners who are learning in different ways as they adopt technology rapidly and continuously.

Andrew Douch (VIC) – inspired the audience to take advantage of technologies such as mobile phones and podcasts to provide learners with engaging, real time learning which can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
