This invited presentation illustrated how a conceptual framework for e-learning implementations, the ACE Framework, was constructed by the Emerging Technologies Centre. The ACE framework firstly, aligns with what Wintec considers to be the three foundation pillars of flexible learning, context (how physical and virtual learning environments are created and maintained), content (how information is designed, authored, and accessed), and capability (the ability of participants to actively engage in the environments created). Secondly, it progresses to an indicator layer conceptualized by the team as the 3Es, enablement (the learning technologies used are robust and easily accessible by tutors/lecturers), engagement (the professional development offered actively engages the participants) and empowerment (at the completion of the learning event tutors/lecturers are competent and confident in the flexible learning environments created).
