What are Innovation Projects…in a nutshell?
They are e-learning projects which seek to further embed e-learning into their organisation/s. To make it part of their business planning and the way they conduct their training.
![Page 7: SA E-learning Innovations Information Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/5472cea8b4af9f9d0a8b5078/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Do you have a project in mind? Think…
• Will it directly benefit and involve learners? (not just staff)• Can you show that it has a direct link with local and state
e-learning priorities?• Will the final result demonstrate good e-learning practice
and design?• Does it build on current resources and practices...rather
than re-inventing any wheels?• Would it be run as a project using work-based models...
(as opposed to just providing a salary)?• Would your team be willing to share the outcomes
(including any product developed) with the VET sector?
