A major challenge for educators wishing to adopt e-learning practices or redevelop their courses is the often significant lead time for development using traditional methods. Wikis offer a platform on which educators can design, develop and evaluate while simultaneously providing students with access to materials. This trial sought to inform the development of standards and guidelines around the use of wikis as development and delivery platforms, and explore the question, "Do wikis offer a sustainable, collaborative rapid development tool for the VET sector?"

This trial sought to overcome many of the technological challenges faced by educators in delivering written notes to learners, particularly those containing special symbols not easily rendered digitally. The project focused on helping vocational education and training (VET) teachers who have been traditionally isolated from online delivery because of the medium of their content. Assistance was provided by providing access to a simple, reliable method of online content creation that works without a large investment in retraining.
