[Year 12 IPM] Got the VCAA CD - Totally UNDERwhelmed !

[Stephen Digby]

Tried to get to grips with the study design via the support CD..
Feels like the study design has been DISintegrated rather than integrated -
so many bits & pieces !!!
Lack of clarity re. status of the material - could  have colour coded the
pages that were official instruction (e.g. study design vs. mere advice)
No provision of full text of assessment advice doc (or have I mislaid it
amongst the large number of fragments ?)
No commitment to do any integrating maintenance on the design, just the
usual - visit our site and sort integrate the other fragments we throw at
you by yourself..
I haven't taught VCE IT for a few years now and realise why I was so
relieved to stop - feels like curriculum designed by lawyers !!
 
Attempted to put some site map to the CD to get a handle on it so that I can
extract some benefit - download if you feel like it at
 
http://infonet.cheltsec.vic.edu.au/file.php/1/Implementing-VCE-IT-2007-2010.
zip  (less than 2 Mb on a CD ?? Why on earth bother !!!! )
 
I will continue to add a site map and try to add the missing docs... suppose
we just have to do the work ourselves.
That's what you get if you let architects loose on a building site !!!
 
Too late... getting too annoyed... Must be rebound from having printed those
1300 reports !!!
Good night and god bless...
