Email survey results - Partnering for Professionalism Project

I would like to extend my thanks to the 31 people who responded to the email survey for the PfP project. The data provided was invaluable for my final report to stakeholders.

You will be pleased to know that the Federal Government has approved $15 Million for the Australian Flexible Learning Framework for 2006. This means that LearnScope will continue next year as will a range of other programs under the Framework.

The following suggestions put forward by respondents to the email survey, and participants at the review workshop at Southbank Institute of TAFE, are currently under consideration:

1. Maintain the PfP Blog as a communication channel and anchor for the the network (encouraging continuous contribution from “team bloggers”)

2. Conduct inter-sector and cross-region, face-to-face seminars focused on a core issue identified by participants during the project and incorporating live case studies

3. Share current research and development outcomes in an abbreviated, written form via the PfP Blog

4. Funding of facilitated, collaborative projects focused on specific areas identified by participants

5. Funding of a facilitated project to look at ways to build inter-sector collaboration

There is very strong support for continuation of this blog and we should have news on this front shortly!
