Abstract: Convergence of technologies and increasing globalisation are driving change in education as in broadcasting. Changes too in the process of specifying courses means that course distinguishing features are defined by the Australian Qualifications Framework, and in the VET sector course outcomes are defined by training packages driven by industry standards. The old “content-driven” model of course definition no longer applies. The broadcast industry can influence training in the new system by becoming involved in training package development through relevant Industry Training Boards, by participating in the development of resources, or by supporting flexible delivery including workplace delivery. It can also customise courses developed for other relevant industry sectors. While change is occurring, the development of resources is the responsibility of providers: it is no longer being publicly funded. Development needs industry support if it is to progress faster than it currently is. Assistance in developing resources using the expertise of broadcasters would bring the joint benefit of ensuring relevant content and speeding global access.
