The aim of the Project was a nationally agreed, standards-based environment for the use of online training experiences in which

• provision of flexible training in a manner that best suits requirements can be accomplished with an eclectic mix of products from competing manufacturers,
• a complete range of training experiences is available online (including text-based information, whiteboard, live and recorded video and audio presentations, chat sessions, email, visualisation, and collaboration on projects),
• both competition and cooperation among training organisations is possible on an agreed technological basis to the best advantage of the Australian Vocational Education and Training System as a whole,
• access to online training is available for all Australians on a generic client platform of choice (i.e. learners have a choice of which products to purchase in order to set up a workstation that can be used to access online training),
• transfer of clients among training organisations is facilitated by standards for the transfer of records concerning progress and results,
• training needs of clients can be met in a manner consistent with the requirements of place, time, working arrangements, and particular equity group,
• students can interact with instructors and other students in both a synchronous and asynchronous manner,
• seamless interaction of products from different manufacturers is made possible by agreed operational guidelines, and
• the Australian Vocational Education and Training system is a highly competitive player on the international stage.
