The 2005 Australian Flexible Learning Framework is a new strategy that highlights the need to give priority to supporting the take-up of e-learning across a broad range of vocational education and training (VET) clients and providers. The E-learning for Target Learner Groups Project is to be undertaken by the 2005 Framework and will concentrate on e-learning for two target groups: learners with disabilities; and young people in the 15-19 age group (including VET in Schools, disengaged youth and school-based apprenticeships). This environmental scan will underpin the youth project. The purpose of this research project is to provide the 2005 E-Learning for Target Learner Groups - Youth Project team with an up-to-date environmental scan of recent relevant research, projects and other initiatives both within and external to the Framework that will inform the 2005 Project. Findings are listed under the headings of: features of young learners; pedagogy, andragogy, heutagogy and constructivism; issues relating to the delivery of e-learning; rural and remote issues; Indigenous; and new technologies.
