Collaboration
Enhanced understanding of TAFE and EQ educational uses of iConnect
All collaboration partners willing to work together and solve emerging issues
Industry and VET partnerships enhanced. (Water)
Sustainable and inclusive professional learning communities fostered ( SCIT, BRIT)
Systems being shared between EQ (Learning Place, TAFE CAMS logins/IAM authorisation) and TAFE (Aurion, Unisys) vary and do not necessarily integrate
Support systems and documentation/website resources/communication channels require development and refinement

Communication
iConnect communication strategy implies negotiation with many stakeholders
iConnect brochure development – time consuming
iConnect moderator training program facilitated online – some staff unfamiliar and unable to cope with this type of learning at this time.
Bandwidth and IT system issues with TAFE infrastructure
Establishment of TAFE institute iConnect contact officers network
Enhanced communication strategies for teachers and staff
Creation
Enhanced blended learning strategies and connections for rural and remote staff and students
Experience, support and immersion in web conferencing technology that I can use straight away
Using iConnect for orientation to my.tafe
ISAS/my.tafe training
We are in the process of exploring the use of webcams to demonstrate clinical skills, such as taking blood pressures and temperatures and then getting the student to practice before demonstrating their competence to the teacher via webcam as a preparation for Residential School.
The iConnect sessions had about 10-14 participants logging in. Feedback from the attendees was very positive around utilising e-learning technology to walk-the-talk in promotion of delivery via flexible modes.
Facilitate communication with industry networks (fashion team)As a key communication tool for Diploma of International Business students studying 100% online
To deliver training to staff (especially in the regions) for CRM and to problem solve technical issues with third party contractors.
CreationBeginning to develop iConnect session recordings for loading to my.TAFE – help students use databases
RPL’s, Teaching external students, Meeting with Teaching and Learning Networks
Environmental Studies / Product and Innovation
Tutorials with online students
Industry discussionsDelivery of Diploma Water (Hydrometric Monitoring)International web conferences for studentsTeam discussionsMy.TAFE Student orientations
Virtual Office mostly keeping in touch with Off - shore teachers and their training requirements
I have distance students that need support and would like to use this tool to augment delivery
I use iConnect to run communities of practice (COP) with other staff every fortnight.
I use iConnect for students who can’t attend face-to-face classes due to difficulties with family, transport or isolation and who find my.tafe to impersonal. iConnect gives students personal contact and the immediate feedback which they miss in other on-line delivery methods.
