<DIV>"we could have our own study design and remove the relative "vagueness" of a Training Package that keeps us guessing every year come exam time"</DIV>

<DIV>The training package is quite clear in what it requires industry practitioners to assess. </DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">My 2 cents worth....<BR><BR>>From what I can see, the new Training Package is too large for us to teach<BR>at VCE level.<BR>Nominal hours for units (currently being debated/organised) seem like they<BR>will far exceed <BR>what we are used to now. Whatever happens with the Training Package, the<BR>VCAA still needs <BR>to place their "rubber stamp" on it in terms of what is an acceptable course<BR>at VCE level <BR>and it may just be that units covered will only form part of a new<BR>Certificate (not a complete one). <BR>This then poses issues for pathways for students. I would like to think that<BR>the VCAA would<BR>also consider the possibility of a VCE (no VET) Multimedia subject where<BR>(ahem) "we" could have<BR>our own study design and remove the relative "vagueness" of a Training<BR>Package that keeps us<BR>guessing every year come exam time.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>TJ<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au [<A href="mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au]">mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au]</A><BR>On Behalf Of claire<BR>Sent: Monday, 14 April 2008 1:03 PM<BR>To: VET Multimedia Teachers' Mailing List<BR>Subject: Re: RE: [vet-mm] changes to training package - any more info?<BR><BR>Hi Brian,<BR>As yet the details of new training package have not been published so it is<BR>difficult to discuss. <BR>I think the biggest issue will be confusion between the 2 names of these<BR>offerings.. <BR>The training package Film, TV, Radio and Multimedia will be called "Screen<BR>and Media", which sounds very like VCE Media Studies. This will be a problem<BR>as students and parents will have difficulty distinguishing the two. <BR><BR>There has been a precedent for calling the VET in schools program a slightly<BR>different name to that of the official TP name, so it may be that it is<BR>possible to avoid confusion in the naming. At one stage, I think we heard<BR>that the Cert 2 was called "Interactive Digital Media" but not sure of<BR>details. Would that name be sufficient to distinguish it from VCE Media? <BR><BR>The actual content of the new MM certs is as yet unknown, but I'm sure the<BR>units of competency will be similar to what currently exists and certainly<BR>not overlap the VCE Media, anymore than it might do now?? I think the skills<BR>and advantages offered by VET MM or whatever it will be called certainly<BR>warrant it being offered alongside VCE Media. In fact, students could really<BR>benefit from doing both, as if they do Vis Comm and IT along with VET MM.<BR>They are complementary subjects not alternatives, in my opinion!<BR><BR>It's difficult with tight school deadlines, but if possible wait for some<BR>VCAA decisions before making yours. <BR><BR>Regards<BR>Claire Bloom<BR>Warrandyte High<BR><BR><BR>> Brian Pearce <BPearce@clc.vic.edu.au> wrote:<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Does anyone else think it will be difficult to justify running the new<BR>> VET Media Certificate and the VCE Media studies course at the same<BR>> school ?<BR>> <BR>> >From the info I've seen it seems it will be difficult to distinguish<BR>> them apart, unless the teacher has control over which of the possible<BR>> UOCs are offered and chooses to make it as different as possible.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Brian Pearce<BR>> <BR>> CLC<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ________________________________<BR>> <BR>> From: vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au<BR>> [<A href="mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au]">mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au]</A> On Behalf Of ARNOTT Suz<BR>> Sent: Monday, 14 April 2008 10:12 AM<BR>> To: VET Multimedia Teachers' Mailing List<BR>> Subject: [vet-mm] changes to training package - any more info?<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> After the discussions when the changes came out I have to say I looked<BR>> through the links<BR>> <BR>> <A href="http://www.ibsa.org.au/downloads/CUF07_v1_mapping_summary.pdf">http://www.ibsa.org.au/downloads/CUF07_v1_mapping_summary.pdf</A><BR>> <BR>> and was waiting to hear which units were likely to be included in the<BR>> VET in schools units....<BR>> <BR>> Well today I got a flyer from edsonic with support materials, and the<BR>> list of units....<BR>> <BR>> Which are definitely reflecting the screen and media.
