Discussions with Patrick and Justin on Construction/Blg Design Project

Had a chat with Patrick yesterday.

We worked out that:


- 6-10 building design student volunteers would do two virtual world sessions of two hours over consecutive weeks: Weds Nov 10 and 17.


- they will focus on the OH&S stuff in the first, and the house building/design in the second.


- this won't involve any assessment since they have already been assessed on OH&S earlier in the year, plus it's getting to exam time then (too late in the year, too much else on). As a result we will have to treat the Building Design activity as a kind of feeler or tester, as we did with Construction last year. We will just look at if it increases engagement levels or not. It's not ideal for reporting, research etc, but is the best we can do at this stage.


Patrick would like to roll this out as an assessable activity in 2011. But this depends on if we can get it funded, since the current project funding runs out this year.


Also
spoke with Justin. We will use the existing assessment tests given to the construction guys for our pre and post tests for OH&S and workplace docs. For sustainability, Justin will compile a short test this week based on his longer assessment task.
