Outcomes of today's meeting with Jann and Jennifer, Hairdressing/Personal Services

• Hairdressing program is flexible and self-paced, with students starting every two weeks in some areas and with the goal of completing around 80 days of study.
• Two groups of hairdressing classes being delivered in high schools
• Students have varying levels of motivation and responsibility. Some are rough diamond Western suburbs kids
  
• Some admin issues with teachers having to sign off multiple times per completed task per student. This is more of an admin/mgt issue and implies a separate project (perhaps web-based signoff as per ATOM system). Suggested discussing with CI Design Studio, who would talk to Matt Ward to build a system.
• Possibility of using Ning or similar social networking environment in conjunction with SL.
• Jann suggested might be good for Dale to go to Hair Expo in Sydney - June long weekend - for further inspiration and glamour factor!
• Looking at starting Second Life delivery in Second Semester (beginning July 13) with Cert II Pre Apprentices in Hairdressing
  
• Work with Jennifer Walsh, other teachers and students to develop program collaboratively
• Three units of competency targeted: Work Effectively in Retail Environments, Follow and Use Health & Safety Routines at Work, Apply Safe Work Practices
• In these, focus on: designing salon, how to dress appropriately for salon, OH &S, basin and reception skills
• Discussion of embedding printable Certificate into TUG Engine
• Will need to run SL sessions at CI, Flinders Street due to King St computers and web not making the grade. Probably will need to be during holidays pre-July 13 - that's when labs won't be fully booked. Details tbc
• We're going in this coming Monday to develop program further and meet students
