Free e-learning events in Canberra

Last week I took part in a free workshop on"How to write a business case for e-learning", sponsored by the Australian Government. This was so popular, it will be repeated March 2008. I found this out from the very useful e-mail newsletter put out by Kerry Manikis, ACT E-learning Coordinator (contact Kerry to be put on the list or subscribe to the national Australian Flexible Learning Framework news RSS feed which includes ACT events):
