Funding acknowledgement:
Full version
This project was made possible through funding from the National Vocational Education and Training
(VET) E-learning Strategy (the Strategy). The Strategy is a joint initiative of the Australian and state
and territory governments, designed as a three year program of action with a series of ongoing
business activities reflecting its strategic objectives. The Strategy will play a key role in enabling the
Australian training sector to take advantage of the roll out of the National Broadband Network (NBN) to
make major advances in the achievement of government training objectives. Coordinated action to
develop sector-wide capability in using the new technological environment will at the same time,
stimulate innovative approaches to increasing participation in training and work and improving the
skills levels of the Australian workforce (http://flexiblelearning.net.au).
