Highlands LLEN – Yum Learning – Blended delivery of Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS)

Yum Learning delivered the multimedia course Certificate II in Creative Industries (Media) to secondary school students. The Certificate covered a range of multimedia skills including HTML, images, drawing, video, audio, animation and basic modelling. We were keen to use a paperless and social approach to training so we set up a WordPress blog to reinforce learning. All assessments and learning guides were distributed via the blog.

Features of this training delivery included:

• Student use of Gmail to communicate with each other and the trainer
• Use of Google Docs for learners to draft and submit knowledge-based assessment tasks
• Social bookmarks to distribute resources
• Social network tools for students to contribute to and manage group work projects
• Student’s use of blogs to publish and peer review group work project assessments
• Purpose built YouTube and Screen-casting videos to support software training
