The afternoon/evening sessions conducted in regions for the last
reaccreditation were invaluable, and seemed to be well attended. VITTA
also conducted follow up full day sessions in regions which were great.
The suggestions for preparations of sample assessment materials are also
on the ball - it's the interpretation of guidelines that sometimes causes the
most difficulty initially. Thanks for asking what we'd like Paula.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Following Keith's suggestions, an integrated activity would provide some<br>
cohesiveness for the course and could be used to maintain student interest.<br>
<br>
Integated tasks were the vogue for typing textbooks in the "good ole
days".<br>
<br>
It is just a matter of creating a variety of scenarios in which each<br>
task/outcome could be focused upon.<br>
We could provide the scenario to students or create a framework within which<br>
they could flesh out the organisation from their own investigations or<br>
input. We could provide the basis of the data and databases for the DBMS<br>
that fits within the scenario. The scenario should lend itself to the<br>
development of multimedia / website development.<br>
<br>
The trials outcomes could be parallel exercises in a similar integrated<br>
study, so that the students are only focusing on one or two organisations<br>
for the year.<br>
<br>
The advantage of an integrated approach would be creating an organisational<br>
framework for the year's study and allowing a more indepth study of the<br>
organisation. The students could then feel part of the organisation and
may<br>
be able to identify goals and objectives more easily because it is part of<br>
an ongoing study.<br>
<br>
If we felt more adventurous, or had a number of scenarios, we could offer<br>
students a choice or scenario in which we could develop similar activities.<br>
A joint or competitive atmosphere could be created in the classroom from the<br>
different scenarios. (Obviously, we would need to be very conscious of<br>
making activities and outcomes of the same difficulty for each scenario.)<br>
<br>
Examples of possible scenarios include:<br>
Video Games store<br>
Retail Nursery<br>
Online business - e.g. providing gifts, flowers, cosmetics, etc<br>
Travel or tour company<br>
Local tradesman / tradeswoman<br>
Fitness Club<br>
Recreational / sporting club<br>
Local Council - an outline example of a possible case study, which needs to<br>
be expanded, cn be found in Chapter 15 of the Pitman book: InfoTech 2000<br>
(Clancy, Kelly & Walker) - needs development of multimedia component<br>
The Malthouse Theatre - Chptr 14 of above title. - needs development of<br>
multimedia component<br>
