This project seeks to explore, pilot and evaluate the use of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter across three trade departments. The intention is to move from the theoretical to the practical by investigating whether, by integrating the use of selective web 2.0 technologies, learners are able to fulfill the learning and assessment requirements associated with particular competencies in the trade areas.

This project seeks to push the boundaries by exploring options that combine the use of virtual worlds in the VET sector with a learner management system to create an innovative learning solution.

The challenge will be to ensure learners are provided with a meaningful pedagogically based learning opportunity, yet assist the teachers as they grapple with the complex issues and challenges that such a project will present.

The South Gippsland Joint Regional Delivery Project is a Partnership between Chisholm and GippsTAFE to develop a model of e-learning delivery that works across two TAFE organisations. This will allow for the delivery of traditionally non-viable classes by combining classes across two different TAFE organisations using e-learning principles.

This project will link each Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) learning group at Chisholm Institute with another national or international VET program through teleconferencing on a weekly basis, using the IWBs and video-conferencing facilities. This will provide young people with an exciting and relevant ICT-mediated learning experience, that broadens their knowledge and skill base through exposure to different cultures, training approaches and vocational methodologies.

Virtual Enterprise Australia offers a virtual business infrastructure to RTOs to facilitate the delivery of competencies from a wide range of training packages. This opportunity aims to streamline the induction process for new students by offering induction packages that suit their learning preferences. The objective of this project is to provide just-in-time orientation for inductees to Virtual Enterprise learning.

This e-learning project involves the delivery of theoretical components, scenarios, pre-reading and exams for the Diploma of Paramedical Science (Ambulance) to learners employed by National Patient Transport who are based throughout Victoria and who are employed on a rotational 24/7 roster system.

This project aims to look at the use of hand held mobile devices to deliver site specific product knowledge content, such as wines and alcoholic beverages, to staff employed in regional and metropolitan licensed Clubs in Victoria. The content will include text, audio and other multimedia.

This project will utilise technological solutions to enhance the social connectedness, collaboration and educational outcomes of an identified cohort of disadvantaged learners. The project will utilise communication technologies to link people together to create a high level of learner engagement, reducing geographical and social isolation, whilst providing a platform for ICT skill development.

Indigenous learners

This project will provide service delivery improvements, learner skill development and operational efficiencies through the provision of integrated e-learning. All first year apprentices undertaking theory based units of competency common to nine traditional trades will be trained and assessed in the common units of competency via  e-learning.

This project will enable disability and aged care workers in remote regions to access online training in adverse event incident reporting via the TAFEVC.

This project aims to research and develop educational applications for a Nintendo Wii. It should allow furnishing students to use a Nintendo Wii to develop and practise skills in applying surface coatings to furniture, in an enjoyable and environmentally friendly way.

This project is for non-Indigenous people helping them to embrace Indigenous culture and learning. It will seek to move Indigenous Cultural Awareness away from a single training event to an innovative training solution by providing integration with a variety of
e-learning and web 2.0 technologies which more appropriately support industry clients' requirements.

The YARPING OUT project looks to engage learners using a youth friendly platform and software, and provide online resources and training. At the completion of thepilot the YARPING OUT project will be developed to provide a more extensive range of resources. The project continues to build on the skills, technologies and resources developed by a wide range of e-learning providers over recent years. It is underpinned by an assertive outreach re-engagement program model and use of Certificate of General Education for Adults and VCAL units.

This project involves developing online materials using various software programs to help learners develop their employability skills, and also the setting up of an e-portfolio of these skills using Pebble Pad, which can be used when they are applying for jobs.

This project aims to produce animated and interactive representations of electrical circuits. There will be particular emphasis on the wiring systems used in Australian installations, and will demonstrate what occurs in the installations under fault conditions. It will be used predominantly for training electrical personnel.

This is a pilot program for the testing of video/audio glasses and the development of learning material. Teacher demonstrations incorporating the glasses will be video captured for online viewing. Learners will be given the capacity to video their own work and collect valid evidence from the workplace. This project will create a flexible interactive perspective on student learning experiences as well as assessment.    

The Virtual Sports Coaching project will engage a group of young people studying Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation and their employer (Sports Education Development Australia) in the development of online resources and networks currently available to on-campus students. The project and its outcomes are integral for the delivery and development of industry based programs.
