[Year 12 IT Apps] RE: Implementation workshops

Thu May 13 16:14:38 EST 2010

Hi Paula

Thanks for the reply and I can understand your position. I'm just venting a few frustrations regarding the 'tyranny of distance'.

Would it be possible to, as mark Kelly suggested, record one of the early sessions and make it available for download or alternatively host an online session on something like Elluminate?

Regards

Dear David and colleagues

I am very mindful of the distance that some people have to travel to get to a workshop, but unfortunately it is not always possible to meet everyone's needs. Given financial and personnel constraints we are unable to offer more than one workshop in each region. VCE IT is one of few VCE studies that has workshops in every region - some studies have only 2 - 6 workshops for the state.

It is a tricky business determining the best location for the workshops with decisions usually based on the concentration of schools within a geographic area. But often the best plans go astray. For example, we have located one regional workshop in an area that has a potentially strong audience, but to date only a couple of people have registered.

VITTA and VCAA will be making available the resource material used at these workshops, and VITTA will be also making available a vodcast of one of the city sessions.

Regards
Paula

Hi Paula

While I know you would love to have as many participants as possible, an (in my case) 8hr return trip to our regional workshop, which is two hrs in the late afternoon / evening is unrealistic. Perhaps more workshops, more widely spread?

Dear colleagues

I am very concerned at the relatively low number of people in some regions who have registered to attend an Implementation workshop for the revised VCE IT study. These workshops are a wonderful opportunity to hear experts talk about the study design, to ask questions and to network with colleagues.

Please visit the VITTA website for details of venues and dates, and if you are intending to participate, please register now rather than waiting until the last minute. I know that people are very busy at this time of year, but earlier rather than later registrations would be appreciated.
