ABSTRACT
The benchmarking exercise revealed that the key to successfully implementing an online learning system is a well planned and executed implementation strategy. This chapter explores the emergence of online learning in Australia to determine the successful and unsuccessful strategies and approaches to learning. It describes the context of the Australian vocational education and training environment, discusses effective online instructional design and analyses the strategies applied by organisations to implement online learning and the development of content. A key influencer of online learning in Australia is the vocational training system. Research by TMP into the up take of online learning in Australian corporations revealed that training managers expected, on average, that e-leaming would represent 39% of all training conducted in the workplace. The chapter presents a case study exploring the successful strategy used by the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group to implement online learning into their organisation.
