[vet-mm] Scripting removed from new Cert III InteractiveMedia course ?

[Stoney, Marian Sy]

Hi Kevork, 
I for one am sad to see the demise of scripting. The reason it was left out, not removed, is that there was no scripting option to choose from among the many units available at Cert III level. From memory, it is offered at Cert IV level now. There has been a general slight downward movement in the level of the Cert III units in the new TP as compared to the old.
I am considering teaching some Actionscript in the first year of Cert III as part of the Critical Thinking unit, as I think knowledge of a scripting language is very relevant in a subject called Interactive Digital Media. The Author Interactive Sequences unit seems geared to web design - in fact, we included it to ensure that web design was covered explicitly somewhere in the course.
I'm speaking from memory here - anyone else from the Advisory committee is welcome to correct my recall of events,
Regards,
Marian

Hi Folks,

     How do others read the new course re scripting ? 
I have noticed the "CUFDIG302A Author Interactive Sequences" Unit of
Competence as perhaps the best candidate for scripting.

Design specifications
may include:
* interactive script

   I expect most people won't do the extra if it is not mandatory. How
does everyone feel about this after all the scripting they learned and
developed ?
Perhaps if any who were on the steering committee read this they can
tell us the rationale behind the removal.

Best Wishes
