Thanks, Claire. This clarification has been good. My students are just up to the stage of developing a client-based website for their second SAC.

Thanks to Marian Stoney and others for your support - this is my first year with Cert III and so far so good!! Does anyone have a Project brief for creating a client-based website? I will use the assessment rubric provided by Marian but would like to see a model for the brief.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Claire,

Thanks for the speedy response!  How do you handle the time for the
actual production of the product?

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the wonderous mysteries of VET MM!!
As far as planning for the product, the VCAA documentation actually
says: "A plan outlining the design, method and materials/resources
required for the Product must be submitted prior to the assessment
event. The writing up of the plan should be completed in class time
within approximately 1-2 hours..."
I don't believe that means they have to dream up an idea and document it
all in the space of a lesson or two. My students spend a couple of
weeks, investigating their target audience, looking for ideas and
inspiration, analysing other products, determining resources required
and documenting the development of their ideas. They can work on this at
home as well as in class. Having followed this part of the design
process, they are then able to formally document their plan -
storyboards, flowcharts, timelines etc within the time allowed.
