Editor's Notes
We have two primary objectives for our project. The first is to develop a really strong model to support e-learning in rural and/or disadvantaged communities. Prior to this project we already had an existing partnership with TAFE Tasmania involving the delivery of elearning. This project builds upon that partnership The second objective is to enhance the future learning capacity and job opportunities for identified disadvantaged groups in rural Tasmanian communities specifically single parents and unemployed over 45s.
