=**E-learning Innovations Projects - Western Australia**=

The Australian Flexible Learning Framework’s ([|Framework]) E-learning Innovations business activity has been established to integrate and embed e-learning into the national training system by supporting and enabling innovation in training design and delivery. Framework funding and support is provided to RTOs to undertake activities that: Learners benefit through an increase in pathways to employment and further education opportunities, including more control over the time, place and mode of learning.
 * support business-training provider partnerships that can drive the integration of e-learning into business and training
 * empower learners through projects which target the needs of individuals in the community or existing and future students of the RTO.

Employers benefit from innovations that are shaped to specific business needs which address skills shortages, apprentice retention, emerging markets and priority industry areas as identified in jurisdictional training plans.

The sector benefits through investments in the local VET market that embed sustainable e-learning practices in workplaces and businesses, and stimulate demand for quality e-learning from individuals.
