The Strategy embraces the opportunity to improve the delivery of vocational
education and training through the innovative use of information and
communication technologies. However, it does not focus exclusively on
online learning or technology-related issues. A broad definition of
flexible learning has been adopted and the Strategy includes initiatives
designed to free up the system to enable many flexible delivery options.

While increasing the flexibility of training delivery has been a major
policy objective of the VET sector for some time now, it is not an end
in itself. The ultimate objective is to make VET more responsive to
client needs. Flexible delivery is an important mechanism by which a
more client-centred service can be achieved.
This report presents a detailed analysis of the needs and preferences
of students for various delivery strategies using data collected through
the 2001 Student Satisfaction Survey. It is one of the first examples
of empirical research into client needs which seeks to guide the State's
development of, and investment in, flexible learning options.
