Online training on the rise in Australia - Eric Wilson, SMH
A joint Federal and State Government vocational training initiative is spurring online curriculum development and use with generous grants, making cheap training available to industry. But are today's course management systems (CMS) flexible enough to fully exploit this growing range of publicly available online curriculums?The Australian Flexible Learning Framework, an Australian Training Authority initiative available through state education departments, has created 70 e-learning "toolboxes", and made them publicly available at nominal cost. Each toolbox contains about 400 hours of learning, representing about 15 "units of competency", based on nationally recognised accreditations. Anyone can grab these online resources, activities and user guides, and cobble together their own problem-solving training programs.
