April_News

Welcome to the April e-newsletter from the NSW National VET E-Learning Strategy team.


 * What’s news? **

As we mentioned in our March Newsletter the National VET E-learning Strategy website (flexiblelearning.net.au) is being upgraded to meet stricter levels of accessibility (WCAG 2) compliance. Many of these changes may affect how you have previously linked to resources from the former Australian Flexible Learning Framework website. This means the location may have changed or the resource may have been deleted. We have been advised that four sub-sites that will remain as links to the main website are:
 * Our new website changes may impact your resources! **
 * E-learning for Industry (read-only site)
 * E-portfolios for Learner Pathways
 * E-standards – New Generation Technologies for Learning
 * Flexible Learning Toolboxes


 * Deleted ** content will be available from your state or territory E-learning Coordinator and Content Service Advisor, however you should be aware that some of the content may not be in an easy to use format.

If you have any issues or concerns please send an email to webadmin@flexiblelearning.net.au


 * //Did you know...... //**


 * We have approximately 125 toolboxes for sale covering 170 qualifications and almost 950 units of competency from 45 nationally endorsed Training Packages. To purchase a Toolbox, contact eWorks on (03) 9661 8700, enquiries@eworks.edu.au
