Timing and locations for the workshops are given below.

The purpose of the workshops and related mentoring services is to share and examine flexible learning issues with a view to increasing the quality and scope of flexible learning in the VET sector and to stimulate collaboration and partnerships. A key aim of this endeavour is to build collaboration between TAFE Institutes, VET in schools and registered training providers.

Participants will be encouraged to form a Community of Practice and share resources, ideas and links and, where possible, engage in small-scale, collaborative action learning projects. It is intended that sharing will continue after the workshops through face-to-face contact, email, phone, mutual site visits and by posting to this blog.

The workshops will be highly interactive and participants will be encouraged to share their knowledge and experiences. This sharing will cover aspects such as current e-learning and flexible learning projects, change management for flexible learning, action learning, strategic planning for action learning projects and development of collaborative relationships.
