September Stories: East Gippsland TAFE



LearnScope projects really do have legs!
Paul Mlynarz: East Gippsland TAFE

In the early days of LearnScope, East Gippsland Inst of TAFE (EG TAFE) wanted to develop an Institute-wide eLearning based conference.

As the Institute has 16 campus, scattered around Victoria in an area covering approx 1/7th of the state, it was not an easy task to get everyone together and interested – especially as the aim was to encompass all staff, not just teachers.

Supported by LearnScope project funding, the conference was successful and is identified as a major factor in getting the ‘e’ ball rolling for the Institute.

Six conferences down the track and it has taken its place as a major annual Institute event and provides, amongst many other things, a focal point for all things ‘e’.

Amongst the 2006 workshops, eLearning was well represented with:

• Digital Story-telling (fully subscribed)
• eLearning is here now but what is it? (fully subscribed)
• E-commerce with Ebay (2 workshops, both fully subscribed)
• The new TAFEVC – Vista (2 workshops presented by Clint Smith, eWorks)
• InfoTrac – online research skills
• Protecting your electronic archives
• LearnScope project groups

In a moment of madness, EGTAFE eLearning manager Paul Mlynarz agreed to provide light relief for the staff with his first (and last) performance as e-LVIS, king of rock and e-roll.
