[vet-it] Issues with not enough computers

[Allan Barnes]

The other option is to split the students up into groups and do the unit
over time, so for example if you have 40 students and 10 computers, 10
students do the install software unit and the other 30 do another unit, and
then they rotate around in groups of 10.

This is how I approached it - it is a bit messy but it does work.


Regards
Allan Barnes.

Hi Emma,

We had the same problem but I put a article in the school newsletter asking
for old computers to be donated. I did this all of first term and I now have
10 working computers. That said, they are old, with little RAM but they do
the trick when it comes to installing most software.

I also received a couple of old printers and a switch.

Cheers,

Morning everyone,
 
Just  a quick question - I am at a school with two year 12 VET classes and
we are trying to complete a sac on Install and Optimise System Software and
Provide Advice to clients. The issue I am having is:
The school does not have enough computers to allow each student access to
install their own system software.Do other people have this issue?If so how
have they overcome it? What can they suggest for myself! 
Cheers,
