National Activities
e-Works is a key player in the management and coordination of the vocational education and training (VET) system’s national e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework).
Through its contracted involvement in the Framework, the e-Works team provides experience and expertise to the national VET system through management of the Framework’s Leadership Program.
The Leadership Program incorporates seven business activities which together provide e-learning infrastructure, resources and services to support VET providers nation-wide.
The 2009 objectives of each of the business activities are as follows:
Flexible Learning Toolboxes
The Toolbox collection of high quality, cost effective, interactive e-learning and assessment resources is being expanded with new products and upgrades to the existing collection. The Toolbox Repository continues to improve access to learning objects for the VET community. Support for RTOs in implementing Toolboxes is provided through the Toolbox Champion Support Service, and tools are available to support product development and delivery.
LORN
Enhancements to LORN will provide improved online access to a greater range of e-learning resources from contributing repositories across Australia.
Benchmarking and Research
Benchmarking activities are undertaken annually to determine the use, impact and uptake of e-learning within different learner groups, states and territories, RTOs, business and industry. Targeted research is conducted to inform the development of policy and new directions in teaching and learning within the VET sector.
E-standards for Training
E-standards for Training is focused on developing national standards to underpin essential e-learning infrastructure, conducting research into new technology areas and providing guidance materials and tools to support the effective use of emerging technologies.
E-portfolios
E-portfolios supports the development of national e-portfolio standards to improve the portability of learner-collected evidence of learning. This will support a learner's ability to move between training and other forms of education, learning and employment.
Access to E-learning Knowledge and Know-how (AEKK)
AEKK aims to provide access to online information, communities of practice and state and territory E-learning Coordinators to support VET providers in adopting e-learning practices.
Brand Management
Brand Management is focused on providing active communication and national branding that promotes e-learning as an integral part of the national training system.
