New users of VET expect a new terminology

Terminology is all-important in the learning environment. Lecturer, teacher, course and curriculum are words that fit a learning model that centres on information transfer; they are words at odds with many contemporary uses of [vocational education and training] VET. Centrelink Virtual College is an in-house enterprise [registered training organisation] RTO working hard to redefine VET practice in order for its application to be relevant to our core business, our learning professions and our learners. This redefinition of practice demands a new terminology. This discussion will focus on inhouse enterprise uses of VET and its links to performance management, the new developing terminology, and the challenge to maintain high quality learning in different environments.
