Reality CheckRelevance
Practicality
Impact
Explore and ExperienceLoddon Mallee Region
Reality CheckIs your idea relevant?
•Does it meet a clear documented client need?
•Is it a good fit for the learner group?
•Are the learners information and communication
technology skills achievable?
Explore and ExperienceLoddon Mallee Region
Reality CheckIs your idea practical?
•Does it build on existing success?
•Does it have a clear leader with the necessary skills to drive the project?
•Is there existing learning material available or customisable?
•Does it use available, accessible or obtainable tools?
•Is the up skilling of staff directly involved achievable?
•Is the idea Marketable: can the target group be identified and reached for
promotion?
•Can it be ready to go in reasonable time and/or to fit semester/brochure
deadlines?
Explore and ExperienceLoddon Mallee Region
Reality CheckWhat is the impact?
•Would it measurably improve quality (retention, outcomes)?
•Would it be supported by and reinforce the organisation’s goals and culture ?
•Is there a cost benefit: best potential results for the resources required?
•Would it provide competitive edge, is it very marketable, and does it build image?
•Is it sustainable – can it continue without project/start-up funding next time?
•Is it developmental – can it be re-used as model or extended within and/or beyond the centre/organisation?

Where is the funding?
Australian Flexible Learning Frameworkwww.flexiblelearning.net.au eLearning for Industry - eLearning Innovations Grants -
Telematics Trustwww.telematics.org.au
Explore and ExperienceLoddon Mallee Region
E-standards for Training
The Framework’s E-standards for Training business activity has a total of $80,000 available for up to 6 projects for registered training organisations (RTOs) to trial emerging technologies that may have wider applications in the national training system.
focused on developing national standards to underpin essential e-learning infrastructure, conducting research into new technology areas and providing guidance materials and tools to support the effective use of emerging technologies.
Some examples of suitable emerging technologies include social computing/Web 2.0 tools and services, e-assessment, e-portfolios, mobile technologies (including RFID, GPS, etc) and virtual worlds.

ToolboxesThe Flexible Learning Toolboxes Business Activity aims to ensure that VET practitioners and learners continue to benefit from a national collection of learning and assessment resources (Toolboxes) that directly support the implementation of nationally endorsed training packages and meet state and territory e learning priorities.
In 2008, production of new learning objects will be streamlined to provide a more rapid response as urgent new training and assessment needs are identified. The Toolbox focus on modelling educational quality will be retained while incorporating online assessment and RPL tools where appropriate. E-learning and assessment resources will be developed in dual form - Toolboxes and Toolbox learning objects - to align with nationally endorsed training packages and cover high-demand training areas and identified skills shortages.

Elearning for Industry
In 2008 a total of $620,000 will be available for funding applications from industry in two groups.
Approximately $300,000 will be available to fund three industries in the first year of the development of three-year strategic workforce development plans incorporating e-learning in those industries.
This is a long-term strategy and depends on the Framework receiving funding to continue development beyond 2008.
A further amount of approximately $300,000 will be available for application by industries for up to seven business clusters to engage in one-year projects focusing on e-learning to deliver industry training.
Funding will require matching by industry.

Innovations Grants Businesses will benefit by developing a strong relationship with a training provider who gets to know their business and tailors e-learning to their needs. All parties will benefit from increased access to strengthened e-learning infrastructure.
Projects will:
•support business-provider partnerships that can drive the integration of e-learning into business and training
•empower individual learners through stimulating demand, providing greater choice, responding to the needs of disadvantaged learners, including Indigenous learners, learners with a disability and community groups, and through facilitating increased recognition of prior learning
•help RTOs to embed e-learning as a key aspect of their business strategy.
Each state and territory will conduct contestable selection processes under approved national guidelines within the context of their own identified e-learning and training priorities.
RTOs funded under this business activity will receive grants in the range of $10,000-50,000 and will be required to match this with funding and in-kind contributions. Successful applicants will also be required, as a condition of funding, to engage with and utilise relevant Framework products, resources and infrastructure in addressing the needs of learners and industry.

Evaluation
Explore and ExperienceLoddon Mallee Region
EvaluationIn 1975, Donald Kirkpatrick first presented a
four-level model of evaluation that has become a classic in the industry:
Level One: ReactionLevel Two: Learning
Level Three: BehaviorLevel Four: Results
These levels can be applied to technology-based training as well as to more traditional
forms of delivery.
