@School IT Academy

DET is looking to establish an online IT Academy where students and staff will be offered accredited online and interactive training in computer software, hardware and networking.   DET IT Academy courses will provide flexible pathways to certification and industry accreditation for staff and students who wish to pursue careers in the IT industry.

The Academy will provide access to vocational education (VET) certificate and Higher Education Diploma units for learners.  Each unit will have a structured set of online and interactive learning resources that will include:

  • Course outline, accreditations and competencies
  • Accredited teachers/lecturers
  • Residential components where required
  • In School mentoring and tutorial support

Two courses will be offered in 2010 with more being offered in subsequent years.

  • IT Essentials, entry level course material that, on completion, will enable students to sit external Comptia exams. Comptia certification is an industry standard and is recognised internationally.
  • Diploma of Network Engineering, for students and staff with prior and /or recognised experience in IT. Graduates will have the skill to design, commission and maintain data networks.
  • The Microsoft and CISCO certified programs will be offered from 2011.

Both courses can be delivered online by CDU and will potentially overcome the challenges of access to quality and specialist training packages for students and staff in urban and remote locations.   Please see attached flyer and Expression of Interest for staff (not limited to teachers) and students.

Course fees for students and staff enrolling in IT Academy Units in 2010 will be met by the @School program.

Responses are required by 30 October 2009 so that class and unit structures can be established.

Online Projects
'Not for NEALS'

Online Curriculum Projects provide a world of unique learning opportunities for teachers and students using current online technologies. Students find them motivational, challenging and relevant as they build on a concept or theme of interest.

Information and communication technologies are used by participants to communicate and collaborate on a common task beyond the classroom.
The use of technologies enables teachers to extend their students beyond the traditional boundaries, physical locations and resources of the school.

Choose from Australian projects, Support projects and Global projects.

Online projects take a variety of forms that include but are not limited to:

the collection of real time data
collaboration with others to reach peers and experts around the world
problem solving and investigating specific topics
research investigations
exchange of ideas, options and experiences
