Delivery;
- Push LMS system still being developed. Some issues with staffing (Will has bowed out, Craig has taken over, has meant some delays)
- also some issues with OpenSim viewers (Hippo) not displaying some OpenSim textures etc, now using Kirsten's Viewer)
- looking at delivering to the Cert II Construction pre-apps only (VET in Schools students leave next week, so have missed chance to work with them, but pre-apps still around until mid-December)
- Justin away for first 3 weeks of November, so looking at doing workshops weeks of Nov 29 and Dec 6 (Daniel to confirm)
- computers in Newport labs: graphics cards aren't up to displaying some OpenSim content (eg gum trees, figures). May need to upgrade cards to 512k (as initially listed in specs!)
- need to work out revised time for delivery with Building Design guys
- process of developing software is, in Dale's words, 'predictably unpredictable'...never really know if plans will translate into reality, especially in areas like this that nobody has done before
Assessment and research:
Chatted at length to Justin and Jason today. Notes:
- Workplace safety and env. sust. (OHS)/Workplace procedures for env. sust (Sust.): these competencies are delivered and assessed throughout course, not standalone (embedded in other subjets). Not formally assessed at Cert II level, more observational etc throughout year. Similar for Cert II and Cert III...can be applied across both (though Cert II is more practical and Cert II Ihas more design elements)
- Workplace documents: this one is assessed 'stand-alone'
- OH&S: OpenSim activities based closely on A3 sheet given to students to break up day of theory connected with assessment for 'white card':
- Daniel: refer to 'scenario based delivery'
- suggestion from Shelley re research: work within one group. Do OH&S baseline test pre-day, then again afterwards. Some sts to use A3 sheets, others OpenSim. (former have option of using OpenSim too if they want, to be ethical)
