$237,000 has been awarded to develop and manage five projects that will deliver innovative e-learning training solutions in the Northern Territory in 2009.

The funding, provided by the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework), aims to support and enable innovation so that e-learning is embedded as an integral part of the vocational education and training (VET) system in the Territory.

Led by registered training organisations (RTOs), this year the Territory's E-learning Innovations projects will focus on:

supporting business-training provider partnerships that drive the integration of e-learning into business and training empowering individual learners by stimulating demand, providing greater choice, responding to the needs of disadvantaged learners, and increasing RPL (recognition of prior learning).

The projects have the potential to benefit the national training system by creating personalised e-learning solutions for learners and providing targeted workforce development through partnerships between businesses and RTOs.

In 2009, more than 145 projects nationwide have been awarded a share of $5.3 million in E-learning Innovations funding. For more details on projects across Australia, visit: http://flexiblelearning.net.au/innovations
