Believe it or not,<BR>> there will be no<BR>> Certificate in Multimedia anymore. It will no longer<BR>> be under the Film, TV<BR>> and.. (was it Radio?)...TP. It's now the Screen and<BR>> Media TP.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> It does NOT include the word multimedia anywhere in<BR>> the titles of the units<BR>> either, that I could see - I have had a quick<BR>> glance.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> It's available on the NTIS site, under CUF07.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> It includes Certificate II in Creative Industries<BR>> (Media) which is 8 units<BR>> (this is the only Cert II there!) and Certificate<BR>> III in Media, which is 11<BR>> units. The hours for each have not yet been decided<BR>> and won't be until<BR>> mid-year so VCAA is still unsure of how long each<BR>> course will be. It is not<BR>> like the Cert III encompasses the Cert II as with<BR>> the current situation.<BR>> They are two separate certs, although they may have<BR>> some common content<BR>> (such as OHS).<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> VCAA has not yet chosen the units - this will be<BR>> done with a steering<BR>> committee of 10 that will include representation by<BR>> secondary teacher/s. I<BR>> have expressed interest on behalf of PixelEd. About<BR>> 400 hours over the two<BR>> years is needed, so not having the hours yet is a<BR>> real problem in the<BR>> choosing of the units.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> Core units in the Cert III (? or was it the Cert<BR>> II?) that I noted down<BR>> were:<BR>><BR>> * Critical thinking<BR>> * Arts knowledge<BR>> * OHS<BR>> * Working effectively with others<BR>><BR>> Students who are currently doing Cert II WILL be<BR>> able to complete Cert III<BR>> under our current TP. The current TP is "superseded"<BR>> but has not expired as<BR>> such - apparently they don't. VCAA are hoping to get<BR>> the new one underway<BR>> for NEW students next year, because they are<BR>> concerned that it is not good<BR>> to wait until 2010 to introduce the new one, dated<BR>> 2007.... but there is<BR>> some chance that it may have to be 2010.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> It may be that the hours are so great that the Unit<BR>> 3/4 sequence may offer<BR>> only partial completion of the Cert III. Apparently<BR>> this happens in other<BR>> VETiS areas. Hopefully the Cert II will be only one<BR>> year. Possibly the Cert<BR>> III will be done over the two years (like the old<BR>> Cert II in Interactive<BR>> Multimedia (Arts)), ie it may be possible that we<BR>> offer only the Cert III.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> The immediately obvious issue is the loss of the<BR>> word Multimedia in the<BR>> title. If it were to become VET Media, we are going<BR>> to lose students, maybe<BR>> even schools. Why offer two Media subjects? It<BR>> seems a real pity to lose<BR>> our identity and unique status, the result for many<BR>> of us in schools of<BR>> years of work building up a profile and a student<BR>> following.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> There is a precedent for the VETiS course differing<BR>> in name from the<BR>> certificate name - VET Agriculture was chosen as a<BR>> name because the<BR>> certificate name, Rural Production, wasn't popular,<BR>> probably a decision made<BR>> by the steering committee. Maybe we should be coming<BR>> up with a suggestion<BR>> for a suitable name and proposing it to VCAA?<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> On the bright side, there are two units on 3D<BR>> animation - maybe one will<BR>> make it into the final mix.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> Important - This email and any attachments may be<BR>> confidential.
