    • 2005 Australian Flexible Learning Framework for the national vocational education and training system

    The 2005 Framework provides the vocational education and training (VET) system with e-learning skills, development opportunities, resources and support networks to meet today's increasingly technology-driven learning environment.

    It is a one-year, AUD $15million national strategy collaboratively funded by the Australian Government and all States and Territories. It builds on the work of the 2000-2004 Framework but also strikes out in some exciting new directions, including working to meet the e-learning needs of students and communities, business and industry, Indigenous learners and people with disabilities.
