[vet-mm] VET 2009 Help

Yes, OK - but it is very confusing using the name "Media" as it is a
separate VCE subject of course, with a lot of DV content. I do not mind
"Interactive Media" though. 
I thought the actual exam coding content may be under question. I would
like to know the changes to advise students.
Also change the name of this list and let MMVIC know.

Hi listers,

Yesterday I attended a session run by Innovation and Business Skills
Australia, which shed a bit more light on the recent changes made to the
training package (CUF07), and the potential implications for our VET in
VCE version of the certificates. 

The facilitator made it very clear that she has no direct influence over
the units that the VCAA eventually chooses to include in its own course,
but that the Multimedia Cert II and III courses we have been running
have been very successful as they are, so she would imagine that the
VCAA would try not to alter them more than they had to. Her list of
suggested units that would match up nicely with those we already teach
included the following:

- Prepare audio assets;
- 2D/3D animation;
- Maintain interactive content;
- Prepare video assets;
- Author interactive segments;
- Write content for a range of media; and
- 'Write simple stories', which apparently relates to the sort of
stories that trainees need to write when creating simple animations.

The facilitator was also pretty clear that the term 'Multimedia' is no
longer used by the industry; therefore, the names 'Certificate II in
Creative Industries (Media)' and 'Certificate III in Media' would most
likely be adopted as the official names, although she suggested that we
(or the VCAA) might be able to make the sorts of topics that we will be
covering clear in a sort of 'sub-heading'. Out of interest,
'Multimedia', as a term, has apparently now been superseded by the term
'interactive media'.

It was a long day, and these comments are based upon my (sometimes
illegible) notes, so those who were there yesterday can feel free to
correct or add to what I've said.

Yes - it just seems so strange to run a course down like this.
So there is NO Multimedia in yr 11 VET next year?
Have all schools been informed of this?
Has there been wide consultation? It has been one of our most popular
subjects for years - under IT here!
I just do not get it!

As far as I am aware, there has been nothing as yet from VCAA.
CERT II will be the new Training Package (Screen Media), which has
quite different units of competence from the current Cert II
(Multimedia)
CERT III will be the last year for students to complete the
Certificates in multimedia.

Our students have already had to make their choices, so sadly I have
had to opt for not running the VET course at Cert II level in 2009 as I
had insufficient information to provide even a rough course outline.

There are meetings going on at the moment discussing what will be
required for the VETiS program, I know this is no help to your students
-
My solution for 2009 at least was to offer Multimedia as  Studio Art
subject, and hopefully get a better picture of the future over the next
12 months, and see what VET course I can develop.

Has there been discussion on here re-2009 VET and the issues
pertaining
to the programming component?
I have no news reader here - so perhaps someone can point me in the
right direction?
We have yr10s doing MM who want information, and next week they are
selecting yr 11 subjects.
Please help .. is there a 2009 course summary available we can provide
for them?
