The TAFE frontiers project 'Flexible learning planning and management resources' identifies challenges presented by flexible learning to managers in vocational education and training (VET) and emphasises the role of managers in planning, managing and developing flexible learning from a strategic management perspective. The project produced a number of professional development resources for flexible learning released as part of the 'Building FlexAbility' series. This paper forms part of these professional development resources and was presented at the TAFE frontiers and VISTA (Victorian Institutes Senior TAFE Administrators) forum on flexible learning in the workplace. Online Learning Australia undertook a survey of the take-up and use of online learning strategies and systems in corporate organisations across Australia on behalf of TAFE frontiers. This report presents the findings of the survey and provides insight into how organisational leaders view, plan and undertake online learning. The research reveals where online learning is being undertaken, the industries where online learning is most dominant, and how, where and why online learning is being used in organisations. The findings represent some baseline data against which to monitor trends in this field, to forecast and plan for emerging trends, as well as a general snapshot of training practices and trends in corporate organisations.
