VET on-line not easy

The Australian Skills Quality Authority surveyed organisations it oversights about taking courses on-line. The optimism was not overwhelming

VET providers worked with the way the world was during COVID-19 quarantines mark one. Private providers moved from 6 per cent fully on-line prior pandemic to 38 per cent in what is optimistically described as “post”, given the newly released survey was conducted a year back.

Providers who did not move on-line said digital delivery it was not suitable for students and/or content in courses they provided.

Some said it could be done with planning and investment. But others thought, “those technologies were likely to be too expensive, require too much lead time to implement and/or warrant new expertise, or would be disallowed by training package rules, industry and/or sector regulators.”

Perhaps ASQA could help by talking to “sector regulators,” oh, wait.
