HTMLThe impact of e-learning on employability skills development

11 May 2009This report considers how technology (e-learning) can assist effective teaching, learning, reporting and assessment processes for employability skills.

The Australian vocational education and training (VET) sector is in transition in implementing a new policy for the employability skills of learning, self management, planning and organising, problem solving, communication, teamwork, initiative and enterprise and use of technology. These skills are being written into VET competency standards in training packages and their explicit development has been made a requirement from July 2008. This requirement is stimulating the exploration by VET practitioners of effective teaching, learning, reporting and assessment processes for the employability skills. This report isproduced by the national training system’s e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework1).
