Week 5 Term 2 2009

Introduction - the good news!
By another three weeks time, we will have completed the modules for Unit 1- VET Business. The modules that we have covered include:
(1) Module 1 - Participate in OHS processes
(2) Work effectively with others
(3) Create and use spreadsheets
(4)Communicate in the workplace
(5) Use business technology

Assessment requirements - the bad news
It is great to be able to have some of the discussions that we do in the class room and to see the interaction on the class and personal blogs.

However, and this is a big however, there are both attendance (80%) and work requirements that must be satisfied by you to get an overall pass in Unit 1. Otherwise, you might only pass one or two of the modules that we have been doing over Term 1 and 2.

Your last chance to submit materials for the different modules!

Hard copies are needed of anything that you do in class so that I can put them into your class folder of work for the auditor.

A digital portfolio that has one folder called your name VEt Business at VU in 2009. Within this folder, create separate folders for each of the modules 1 to 5. Any time that you do work in class, save it to this digital portfolio. At the end of the Unit 1, copy your digital portfolio over to my hard disk drive.

(1) Module 1 - Participate in OHS processes - you still need to complete the last work requirement . Go here to complete the necessary reading or skimming of the web pages. First read through the General Module. Next, go here to complete a quiz. Save a bit of time and just try the quiz first if you feel confident.

When you have completed the quiz (that means you get a 75% on it), call me over to your computer so that I can verify the result. Then print out a hard copy to hand in to me. Take a screen shot, copy it into Word, and save this to your electronic multimedia folder.

Repeat the process with the Office and Business Services module and the quiz that goes with it.

Due date: before class starts on next Monday, May 25, 2009

(2) Work effectively with others - for the theory part of this, you need to answer questions 1 to 15 in a Word document that has a footer with your name, date and class as part of it. Paages 1 to 7 or in the previous post. the rest of the pages are here - page 8, page 9, page 10, page 11, page 12, page 13, page 14, page 15.

For the practical part, you need to hand in the Office Drawing tools exercise and a logo that you have designed for your part time business that was discussed in class. Print a hard copy of Activity 11 and 12 with your name, date and class in a footer. then save it all to your didgital portfolio.
