[vet-mm] Preparing SACs for Cert III

Fri Feb 29 15:28:20 EST 2008

Hi, thanks for the informative PD on Monday, it cleared a few cobwebs and shone a torch on some of those dark eerie corners of the TAFE horror-house (so to speak). I’m not in a panic but I need to clarify a few things before I chisel my yearly planning into stone. I'm preparing my next combined unit and SAC (or SAT) that will incorporate both scripting and 2D animation. I'm just a little unsure as to how to stagger some of that assessment and the assets before the big day. After seeing some of the previous final products I really can't see how students can do all of that in one day (complex drawing/rendering etc.) without preparing assets and design docs first. I am thinking of doing the following. Please let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree:
  1) Running a series of tutes that will address the basic elements of BOTH units etc over 8-10 weeks
  2) Give a "preparation for SAC mystery task brief" for the final product which will require the students to prepare characters, drawings, target audience, elements, assets etc. This will run over a few weeks and can give students the opportunity to do extra work if they like- HOWEVER the SAC work brief will be given on the day of assessment.
  3) SAC day: A specific brief (extension of previous brief) will be delivered on the day outlining particular client orientated requirements such as: sequence, labelling, interactivity (text box objects)/scripting, theme/story, duration, size/resolution etc. 
Does this sound reasonable? 

Cheers,
Mike Portley
