<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=593264622-28022006> <FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>At Keilor Downs, we are doing the Software
Applications stream. For the most part we use the standard applications that
come with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Access) and also, I am just trying to
get Puppy Linux and Open Office going (thanks to Con for his pointers) so we can
do the module on Migrating to new technology on something other than a Microsoft
based system. Anyway, in answer to your actual question, I dont think there is a
prescribed list of software, but most of the modules relate to whatever is
used in industry, so this is more often than not, whatever your school
has.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

usual, I’m asking an ‘off topic’ question – we are considering introducing VET
IT (and have been for about three years but that’s another story). If we
introduce the Software Applications stream, is there a list of ‘prescribed’
software that must be studied or are we able to decide on a variety of software
of our choice? Or if we go for the General stream, is it ‘meaty’ enough for the
students? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>
