The CEDAR project will be partially funded by the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework) as part of the E-learning Innovations grants. To find out more about E-learning Innovations grants and the Framework in SA please click here or go to the communication page by clicking here.
So what's the project all about? BJ Network Consulting Australia (BJNCA), in conjunction with Cleve Area School (CAS) will be delivering two units of the Certificate II Agriculture in an online format. The two units are RTC2309A Operate Tractors and RTE2111A Identify and Mark Livestock.
The learners are VET in schools Agriculture students at CAS. Students participating in the Agriculture course are generally aged 15 to 18 years old. They come from a variety of backgrounds and locations – locally and from across Eyre Peninsula; Lock, Wudinna, Kimba, Ungarra, Snowtown and Jamestown are the current mix, but students have come from many parts of the state in the past. There is a boarding house and house parent at Cleve that caters for 8 students – others seek board locally or on surrounding farms. Some students are travelling as far as 80km (95mins) on the bus to get to school.
BJNCA and CAS propose building a course within an established online Learning Management System (MOODLE). The students need to be able to connect their learning environments and the teachers need to be able track this learning. The course will allow students to upload evidence of their competence such as video, photo, voice or written documents and use this in addition to the traditional methods.
