[LINK] More funding needed for Australian Flexible Learning Framework

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian Flexible Learning Framework provides a good set of 
tools, training and resources for vocation e-learning 
<http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au>. But they could do with a bit 
more cash to help achieve the new federal Government's digital 
education revolution.

Also some money might be needed to convince the vocational and higher 
learning sectors to use the same standards for e-learning and 
e-portfolios. Otherwise when you do a TAFE course you will have your 
qualification in a supposedly standard electronic format, but then 
when you do a university course you will have another different one.
