The Flexible Learning Innovations project conducted in 2002
aimed to foster innovation within the Australian Vocational
Education and Training (VET) sector.
This project funded six small-scale initiatives supporting
emergent e-learning solutions that allow for the development
of innovative content, applications and services within the
VET sector.
Building Blocks to Reality
Development of a series of frameworks to allow students to
use a three dimensional Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) program
to build a Virtual building. Students will refer to and incorporate
real data and standards from the various Building Codes. (More
about the product...).
Skills-Assessment for Computer Based Learning
A web-based "Skills-assessment for Computer Based Learning"
resource. Self-assessment, checking and confirmation of skills
and knowledge will be the principal focus of the resource
which will be platform independent, and be built in such
a
way that the RTO can use it from a web-based server, intranet
or on a CD-ROM. (More
about the product...).
Assessment Generator
A computer based assessment generator that will provide VET
training providers with a flexible tool to store, search,
edit and generate items that may be used for assessment and/or
learning purposes. (More

Adaptive Learning Objects: Greater Flexibility - Greater
Learning
Exploration of the production of Adaptive Learning Objects
so that instructors /teachers can modify the assets that are
embedded in the learning object and hence make the learning
object better fit the needs of the learner.
Virtua-Lab
The final product will provide validation of experimental
data that would otherwise be unavailable in any distance-learning
situation and will provide a precedent for recording feedback
from a student that is not generated by keystrokes or mouse
events. The product will have a hardware, software and learning
ware component. The hardware and software component together
constitute a new technology that will be referred to as "Virtua-Lab".
The hardware will be a production ready, fully functioning
prototype, of a data acquisition module that includes a serial
data communications interface.
Nursery Live
The e-learning simulation prototype will be a time-based
simulation of a horticultural nursery providing learners
with a living,
breathing nursery that they are required to help manage.
Learners will be able to interact with this simulation
in order to
manage a particular part of the nursery effectively and tasks
will support the underpinning knowledge for related elements
from a range of competencies. (More
