[Year 12 SofDev] VITTA PD 2008 - PHP & MySQL-Registrationsnow open

Tue Jan 29 14:34:08 EST 2008

Hi everyone,

I have been talking to other about this very issue on the Yr7-10 list - so
apologies if I am covering ground again for some.

VITTA is committed to doing better in terms of regional PD this year.  In
the past, we have tried a few things (but not with much success) and the
costs associated with holding face to face PD can be prohibitive.

We have produced a PD calendar (that is very metro centric) - however, we
will be exploring ways in which we can deliver this PD to you.  We can
certainly do some 'vodcasts' or teleconferencing, or may make use of
technologies such as Skype.  In any case, it is something which we plan to
discuss and plan for in detail in a couple of weeks when we meet for our
planning meeting.

We are also in the process of establishing some VITTA regional branches
(through which we could deliver PD or which could provide expertise in
setting up the technology) - so anyone who is interested in being involved -
please let us know!

All the best!

Cheers,
Adrian

So what are you Tom? A four hour drive each way? Makes on-line delivery seem

the way to go doesn't it?

So how about it VITTA?
