A model for managing elearning delivery

The Flexible Delivery Business Planning Framework provides a logical framework for analysing and developing a business case for a flexible delivery solution. It was used for market analysis, planning and evaluating the e-department model that Riverina Institute of TAFE (RIT) developed as part of this case study. Selected questions in each phase of the planning framework supported the development of a business case for the e-department. The case study proposal included a number of objectives designed to promote the development of RIT's flexible learning practice. These objectives are: to demonstrate exemplary online facilitation and management of online learning, leading to a reputation for quality online courses; to focus on professional development courses for teachers and other staff; to develop best practice management procedures, structures and systems for online learning; to develop online expertise that can be taken back to benefit teaching departments across the Institute and assist them in implementing online teaching and learning; and to support the Institute's key objective of 'be e-effective' and related strategic planning goals. Overall, the use of the Australian Flexible Learning (AFL) Framework products and services focused the Institute's attention on developing and moving to the next step in the flexible learning journey into online and blended delivery. Through using AFL Framework products and services, RIT is better positioned to continue and grow a commitment to flexible learning. Show less
