What is LearnScope?
Aim: The 2005 Australian Flexible Learning Framework (2005 Framework) provides the vocational education and training (VET) system with e-learning skills, professional development opportunities, products, resources and support networks to meet today's increasingly technology-driven learning environment.
The 2005 Framework 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.
