The project aimed to build on previous AFLF research on embedding e-learning innovation and investigate models for overcoming barriers to e-learning implementation. The barriers identified were lack of time, poor alignment with work priorities, insufficient management support and a lack of organizational strategic focus on e-learning. The project involved staff from TNQ TAFE reflecting on e-learning competencies, refining resources and strategies, and reinvigorating their professional learning approach through collaborative action learning projects using an online platform. A review found both enablers and barriers to the professional development model used.
