| BELTS Project OverviewWelcome to the BELTS Project Home Page. From here, you should
be able to find out everything you need to know about BELTS. The Basic E-Learning Tool Set (BELTS) has been developed by The Le@rning
Federation (TLF) to demonstrate the distribution, management
and use of online curriculum content and to aid investigation of requirements for
e-learning environments by Australian and New Zealand school jurisdictions. BELTS currently provides a limited set of tools, including:
A content repository; Basic activity creation, using lessons; Basic group management, using classes; Content to curriculum outcomes matching (the
curriculum organiser); Downloading of content from The Le@rning
Federation's Exchange repository of online curriculum content; Content replication from one BELTS to another, and System administration.

BELTS has currently not been developed as a fully featured
learning management system. BELTS is, however, an open source
project that can be further developed. The Le@rning Federation
encourages Australian and New Zealand education jurisdictions, and
others, to consider options for collaborating and contributing to
the evolution of BELTS. For more information about the project and
how you can participate visit the BELTS project web site

Federation, is an initiative delivered on behalf of the
Australian Education Systems Officials Committee (AESOC) by a joint
venture of education.au

In January 2001, as part of the Backing Australia's
Ability: Innovation Action Plan the Prime Minister announced
funding of $34.1 million over 5 years to support the Initiative to:
Develop a body of high-quality curriculum content,
suitable to each State and Territory; Develop a framework which supports distributed access; In the long term, use the framework and content to
stimulate further contribution to the pool of material.
In July 2001, all Australian States and Territories agreed to match
the Commonwealth funds. Following this, New Zealand joined in the
Initiative.
