TNQ TAFE
2009
Learning = Connecting, collaborating and creating
Background to this Project
AFLF – e-learning innovations Funding opportunities are available each year advertised 7th February 2009 Australian
newspaper and AFLF website Applications closed 5th March 2009
21 funded Qld e-learning innovation Projects at a cost of $925,200
TNQ Project Sustainability funded for $20,000 and TNQ TAFE in kind $20,000.
Aims of the Project
Aims Reflect on personal and organisational e-learning
competency. What is possible now, what needs to be learned and why?
Refine resources, learning and assessment strategies for a sustainability competency unit for an e-learning context.
Re- invigorate a professional learning approach for TNQ project participants that aligns with collaborative workplace action learning projects.
Review the capacity of TNQ TAFE to provide timely and varied support for e-learning competency development for project participants.
Learning power
Project Learning strategies Reflect and Research– professional development, e-learning,
sustainability delivery and current competence. Group workshops, blogs, del.icio.us, online resources and project website, announcements and individual learning plans
Refine – learning design and assessment and resources and learning plans. Project teams, technology support, mentors.
Re-invigorate – sustainability resources and learning and assessment design and identify issues in this PD learning model against the RIPPLES model
Review – what was achieved, enablers and barriers for this Professional Development Model.
How do we get it right?
Professional development Approach – Action learning
Methodologies for the TNQ Project Sustainability PD process
The 4 R’s aligned with varied learning approaches Reflect and Research Refine Re-Invigorate Review
Use RIPPLES model to inform the development of an effective workplace project based PD Model for TNQ TAFE
Project Sustainability- Project management plan was based on 2006 AFLF Research “Innovate and integrate” and the “ Ripples Model” http://innovateandintegrate.flexiblelearning.net.au/

Review
The project aims Project planning
development and evaluation processes for AFLF projects
Individual contributions Enablers Barriers
Support mechanisms The PD approach and
model Technology use Where to from here?
Our Project Summary We aimed to build on the AFLF
Embedding e-learning innovation research conducted in 2006 and investigate support models to overcome the key barriers to e-learning implementation identified in this research.
Significant barriers impacting on personal and organisational development of e-learning for enhanced VET delivery. The key ones being time and alignment with work priorities,
management support and a lack of an organisational strategic e-learning focus.
Some successful enablers
How will we use this learning?
Our project website and contacts A website has been developed that captures key activities and
learning from this project and is available as a link in the final project report. Each participant was interviewed and their issues and improvement strategies are recorded as part of this final evaluation. The website for this project is located in the TNQ TAFE LMS my.tafe.
