[vet-mm] RE: Supplementary advice for VCE VET Multimedia

[Rachelle McLean]

You have raised a good point though Marylou about us all being vigilant in getting answers from VCAA.  

When I spoke to Susan she was interested in any other conflicts we might find between the supplementary info and any other advice issued by them.

Another glaring example I have found is that the 2004 sample exam says that the exam will not include 'writing information to disk', whereas the supplementary info rates the workplace focus as 'Medium' that we should teach I/O operations from files and writing to files or databases.  It is only listed as a medium but I could find many examples of questions on the exams that have been rated as a medium.

If there are any other contradictions that anyone finds, you can email me on rmclean at haileybury.vic.edu.au and I'll take it up with VCAA or you can contact VCAA directly.  VCAA are hoping to release clarification on a few issues in term 2.

Cheers,

Rachelle

  Dear Rachelle,

  I did not say that I was concerned over people expressing opinions here rather than contact VCAA. I actually said that we should not just express them here, we need to in addition clarify our concerns with VCAA. The only way we are aware of our common concerns is through the mailing list. What I was saying is then from that the next step is to contact VCAA.

  I did not realise that you were already in contact with VCAA on our behalf. Thankyou for clarifying this you have put my mind at ease. When we are confused we need an official response from VCAA to us all and it is good to know that someone is pursuing this.

  Regards
  Marylou
