Tasmania is performing above the national average in e-learning in the vocational education and training sector, the latest student e-learning benchmarking survey results show. The Minister for Education and Skills, Nick McKim, said today that the 2011 E-Learning Benchmarking Survey shows that Tasmania’s performance exceeds the national benchmark in most areas. The results come as one of the 2010 Tasmanian E-learning Innovations Projects, Interactive Scaffolding Training developed by The Skills Institute, was announced as a winner of two major awards at the LearnX Federation Asia Pacific E-learning and Training Awards. The project won the Best Use of Game Based Learning Technology and the Best Use of Video in a Training Program. “This is a great outcome for e-learning in education in Tasmania, particularly for a trades area which is not a likely candidate for online learning,” Mr McKim said.
