The timeline for this project February 2010- June 2010
February 2010- connect, and clarify project aims March 2010 – connect, create and commence a Project
PALM action plan with identified participants April 2010 – June 2010 - collaborate and create re-
invigorated approaches to teaching in the core priority areas of instructional design, blended/e-learning and assessment
June 2010 – collaboratively and creatively share the learning/resources from project PALM for further enhancement across TQR Institutes in semester 2, 2010
What People needed to do to be involved in this project?1. Read about Project PALM by going to the TAFE Queensland
Regional my.tafe site and reading the Project PALM information page2. Contact their Institute Project PALM team facilitator for a chat about
their idea/issue. They then collaboratively develop a Project PALM action plan that clearly articulates their PD needs and what they will do and what we as the PALM team will source and provide for them as part of their participation in this project
3. Obtain their manager’s signature on this action plan and document on the plan how they will be supported by their manager in this project.
4. Sign their draft plan and forward to their Project PALM facilitator. 5. Stay tuned to receive okay to participate and and be ready to
commence their project after the Easter break. (10 week timeline – we promote at least a three hour a week time commitment as a guide= 30 hours over the semester)
Where are these project PALM activities being conducted?
The funded project participants are drawn from TAFE Queensland Regional Institutes – 46 Campuses
However there are ……options for those outside this TQR region to be involved! Teaching and learning networks Generic training accessible in multiple modes Sharing of all outcomes across TAFE Qld
The Project PALM team has so far….1. Worked with participants/managers to develop an identified issue into
an achievable semester 1, 2010 Project PALM action plan2. Developed a communication portal for this project for team members3. Is in the process of Identifying, Sourcing, Designing and Facilitating
support strategies for participants to achieve the project outcomes.4. Identified funding allocations as per the negotiated action plan
requirements and allocated VET Futures budget5. Liaised with management/stakeholders/networks to promote this
project, using multiple modes across TAFE Qld6. Is in the process of Identifying synergies and connections with other
PALM participant projects, and others in the TQR /TAFE Qld networks/VTA’s who can contribute to project outcomes
7. Mapping what is currently available and being developed and delivered as part of other VET Futures projects and current Institute L&D options/plans aligned with these projects
Summary of draft project applications

Examples of draft Project Applications – e-learning1. Childcare has a new training package and would like to refine
their assessment processes by exploring some use of online testing using my.tafe
2. Nursing currently delivers training using a blended model focused on residentials exploration of other modes and efficiencies to be explored
3. The hair and beauty team have resources in my .tafe but would like to explore enhancing their current facilitation strategies with these resources and promoting interaction between learners
4. Business Admin would like to set up a resource and communication portal in my.tafe for use with RPL clients
5. Plumbers want to explore the use of online tests and the process for developing these in a streamlined manner with their Learning technologies unit
Summary of draft project applications
Assessment – 4 proposed projects focused
BRIT – Refrigeration
BRIT – community services (RPL e-portfolios)
TNQ – Contextualisation of Sustainability unit
TQR – delivering assessment foundations – multiple modes

Captivate iConnect web-conferencing SCRATCH Videostreaming Videoconferencing Online game creation Web 2.0 tools Wimba Ispring Learning design tool AFLF Toolboxes My.tafe Resource bank
Identification of relevant training programs ( e-learning, assessment, instructional design) currently being conducted across Institute locations and the enhancement of these programs into chunkable learning objects using multiple formats.
E.g assessment foundation session on AQF currently being conducted by WBIT (2 hours) to be reviewed and developed into 4 half hour sessions and conducted in web conferencing format, so it can be recorded and shared for future viewing and use. Video-streaming option also to be explored.
Guiding principles – assumptions in this project
Initial research is conducted and completed by the participant and facilitator as to what is currently available for use/customisation, redesign across TAFE Qld and the wider VET sector
Participants to connect with their colleagues/relevant support personnel (e.g InstituteLearning technologies team, library, Videolinq) and their regional Institutes/VTA’s and talk about what they are proposing in their project
Provide reflective comments and short summary of learning’s and outcomes in June
Management agreement and support
Clarify Communicate Collaborate/Cooperate Create Capability
Quiz: Final Activity
Thanks for your time and if you have any ideas that you are happy to share with us we’d love to hear from you.
We are about reinvigoration and refinement not reinvention!!!!!!
