<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As we limp along to the holidays (well some may be marching,
I’m crawling!), I have had a few calls and emails asking about scored
assessment for next year. Basically it has not changed, it’s just now we
have 6 Units of Competency and in the past it was 5. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you email VCAA the official word is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>The assessment guidelines, that is, guidelines surrounding task
selection and task design are unchanged for 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>The generic advice for scored assessment published in the November
2003 Multimedia Assessment Guide will not change for the revised VCE VET

<p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

published on page 7 of the VCE VET Interactive Digital Media program booklet

<p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>A sample assessment plan will be available this week on the VCE VET
Interactive Digital Media page of the VCAA website. This sample is a guide only
and it not intended to be prescriptive. The decisions about the clustering or
batching of units and task selection remain with the teacher/trainer in
consultation with the RTO where appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope that helps reassure teachers as you plan for the new
course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers and holiday wishes to all,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>PS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PixelEd is planning to bring out some sample tasks that
schools may like to purchase, not sure of publication date but watch this space
for more information. We have found that any Unit can be paired with any other
unit, so there are 15 combinations that we will prepare sample tasks for. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We will also be running PD in Feb, once again – watch this
space.<o:p></o:p></p>
