multimedia job ads through SEEK and the highest paying of the hands-on multimedia
jobs seem to be for Flash developers. I’m not sure how we can prepare
them for this option if we don’t have scripting as an integral part of
the course. I will be including it as much as I am allowed under the new
structure, but if it’s not examined it might have to be as a bit of an optional
extension. They don’t all love it but at least the ones who do can
recognise that they have a talent for it and start down that pathway.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I’ve always liked the scripting unit. The kids need something in
there to stretch the brain cells a bit, plus it gives the course more
credibility I think, so it’s not just a ‘make pretty digital
things’ course. I’m hoping to get it going in my school for
2010 and will stick some scripting in there somewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

it was left out, not removed, is that there was no scripting option to choose
from among the many units available at Cert III level. From memory, it is
offered at Cert IV level now. There has been a general slight downward
movement in the level of the Cert III units in the new TP as compared to the
old.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
How do others read the new course re scripting ? <br>
I have noticed the "CUFDIG302A Author Interactive Sequences" Unit of<br>
Competence as perhaps the best candidate for scripting.<br>
<br>
Design specifications<br>
may include:<br>
* interactive script<br>
<br>
I expect most people won't do the extra if it is not mandatory.
How<br>
does everyone feel about this after all the scripting they learned and<br>
developed ?<br>
Perhaps if any who were on the steering committee read this they can<br>
tell us the rationale behind the removal.<br>
<br>
Best Wishes<br>
