Access and Equity in Online Learning identifies the needs
of target equity groups in elearning. It also focuses on
guiding the equitable design and delivery of elearning for
all learners.
A range of products have been developed by the
Australian Flexible Learning Framework to assist
registered training organisations to address the needs of
target equity groups.
|
|
These products include a range of literature reviews, research
reports and guidelines to plan and implement accessible elearning.
These
products address the needs of the following learners:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners
- learners
with disabilities
- learners with English literacy needs
- rural and remote
learners
- women in vocational education and training (VET)
- isolated
metropolitan learners.
Included in the product are a range
of guidelines, dedicated to ensuring that all learners have
a genuine opportunity to access and benefit from elearning.
|
Each product provides direction
as to the cultural, environmental and educational needs you
should consider when applying elearning to VET.
The products
can help you to:
- ensure that your individual products and services are
directed towards best practice in teaching and learning
- provide learning opportunities
for those who may previously have had difficulty accessing
elearning
- meet Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) requirements.
