Queensland E-learning Innovations projects

The Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework) provides the vocational education and training (VET) system with essential e-learning infrastructure and expertise needed to respond to the challenges of a modern economy and the training needs of Australian businesses and workers.


Queensland (QLD) has been allocated $833,000 for E-learning Innovations projects that assist RTOs to embed e-learning as a key aspect of their business strategy, focusing on:

  • business-training provider partnerships driving the integration of e-learning into business and training
  • empowering individual learners through stimulating demand, providing greater choice, responding to the needs of disadvantaged learners, and through facilitating increased RPL (recognition of prior learning).

Read details on the successful applicants.

Continue to visit this site throughout the year for updates on the progress of selected projects. Completion of E-learning Innovations projects is expected in late December.
