This report provides an overview of selected online delivery sites in the Australian vocational education and training (VET) sector and, in addition, proposes a model for evaluating web-based flexible learning practices, illustrating the application of the model in two case studies. The focus is on the nature of the uptake of web-based technologies and the quality of teaching and learning emerging. A broad goal of the report is to build a knowledge base in order to ensure that web-based technologies translate into effective learning practices. The report consists of: a theoretical framework for web-based flexible learning evaluations; a profile of teaching/learning exchanges critical to quality learning outcomes that occur in web-based modules; and information relevant to the improvement of web-based teaching processes, the meeting of VET quality assurance requirements and identifying the need for further research and the refinement of evaluative tools.
