Clients

Indigenous students doing a Certificate II in Business – School Based Trainee Course No 9741 which is a Board Endorsed course with limited access to technology. They could benefit from our eLearning strategy, utilising the web tools and technology available to broaden their options for online study by increasing their research capability. Currently, they have not done any research using web tools or technology and are very exicted to be part of this strategy.
Client Challenges
These learners do not have the internet at home or a computer at home.

To Increase learner employability of client group by building technology capability

She will be running a competition with an iPod as a prize for the section most active in uploading their assessment tools to an online Faculty space.

Mixed group of students doing Business courses - several disabled students (one is completely blind), two indigenous students, several mature age students, gen y students, trainees in the workplace, students seeking rpl, all working within the VE. They would definitely benefit from working with the mobile technology.

2008 Project Objectives

Provide the students with the opportunity to experience use of a PDA, which is used within the modern business environment
Specifically, use the calendar to input meetings, appointments etc - (this is an important component of the Organise Schedules unit). E.g;

maintain a to-do list for completing major tasks
establish a list of VE contacts in the address book
take notes during meetings
experiment with bluetooth facility
practice composing emails and sending wirelessly (maybe)
sync with their pc

Low level Litracy/ Numeracy group containing ESL, disability, aboriginal and mature age students. Lynne intends to utilise some technology learned last year with this group of students, in particular the use of an iPod to support learners with reading, pronnunciation and other learning difficulties.

2008 Project Objectives

Using an iPod with my learners to;

Provide extra material for self-paced learning for student in the LLN Programme.
Support for learners with reading and/or other learning difficulties
ESOL – pronunciation guides
Student counselling - study guides, relaxation "tapes", stress management tips
Following readings from simple books
Great way of reducing paper based material.

Using mobile technology with Indigenous students would enable me to capture narratives from young Aboriginal learners through means that are more culturally appropriate – ie. Oral storytelling.

2008 Project Objectives

To gather qualitative data around the success of a number of Aboriginal and youth at risk programs I am coordinating. I firmly believe the use of mobile and electronic tools – such as iPod voice recorders - would enable and enhance this process and facilitate wider sharing of the outcomes within the vocational education and training sector.
