Spice up your training with E-learning for Business!

There is a continuing demand for more flexibility in education and training. Training providers want to offer more flexibility in the delivery of their training. Teachers and trainers are often time-poor but want to include new resources to spice up their offerings to learners. Employers need access to more consistent and flexible training for their employees to reduce downtime at work.

The E-learning for Business event, held in Brisbane on 15 October 2009, demonstrated how e-learning can really work for businesses, providing cost-effective and flexible training options for vocational education and training (VET).

Hosted jointly by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework and ACPET Queensland, this four-hour event  launched the results of the 2009 national E-learning Benchmarking Survey, and featured two interactive sessions:

• E-learning in Action – A showcase of free Framework e-learning products and resources, including Flexible Learning Toolboxes; LORN; E-portfolios; ARED and the QTImPlayer, that are available to VET providers, business and industry.

• VET E-learning Hypo thetical – A panel of VET experts, including Skills Australia, private training providers, Manufacturing Skills Australia and SkillsTech Australia,  discussed how small business can adopt e-learning without a big business budget.

The annual national E-learning Benchmarking Survey, conducted by the Framework’s Benchmarking and Research business activity, is the trusted indicator of e-learning uptake, use and impact in VET.

The launch of the 2009 E-learning Benchmarking Survey results highlighted the latest e-learning trends; showcased VET sector attitudes to using e-learning in teaching and training, and allowed participants to benchmark their e-learning activities nationally.
