Project Manager TQR VET Futures Project 2010
Colleen Hodgins – Draft project management strategy
“PALM project”
Background:
TQR training and development plan – 4 priority areas Teaching, learning and assessment Industry technical currency Clients, business development and quality improvement Leadership
TQR regional skills stock-take – Teaching and Learning skills area immediate capability needs are: Instructional design Delivery through e-learning/distance learning/holding
videoconferences Assessment Foundations/RPL process and
methods/Designing RPL tools Methodology
Problem based learning – engagement, cooperative, enquiry based and outcomes focused.
Learning Cycle of VET Futures(It would be good to develop a picture of this process!)
Learning engagement with technology – Personal learning plan development
Pre-work – management meeting, running a focus group with colleagues to explore the problem and pose research questions
Face to face – working on the research questions with other professionals
COP activities – Learning cycle (PALM) Presentation of output PALM COP – my.tafe My.tafe site
My experience – 21st century capability development
PD Renewal –doing things in new ways but with a new spirit confirming and reiterating an established practice but with a focus on renovation and the development of a rich learning culture for all - examples
So… Integrating available and emerging technology in the context of mindful inquiry collaborative projects, access to resources, tools and support which promotes pedagogical renewal does work! - examples
Example of 2009 team project work, plans, templates and workshops using PBL strategies and educational technology in a project based methodology. http://my.tafe.qld.gov.au/tqaccess/logon.aspx user name xtnqsuss password xtenqsuss

Project Methodology – 5C’s Clarify stakeholder and learner needs /issues/
problem based learning approaches and capability champions
Connect – learners, communities of practice/learning networks
Communicate – consistent and creative and technological
Collaborate/Co-operate, Create – share and participate in personal and cooperative learning activities with clear outcomes
Capability – implement, measure and achieve outcomes and plan future strategies
Finally…
Holistic approach outlined in this presentation is premised on:
Designing professional development from the inside out Sharing the learning facilitation and development across the organisation Understanding diverse learning needs and designing phased learning
approaches (formal and informal) Knowing and learning as an active supported and social process Integrating information technology use across the organisation Managing support and monitoring – buy-in from all stakeholders Connecting to the identity of the new organisation Leveraging the value of ‘ignorance’ as in admitting to not knowing and being
able to ask for help – everything of value and creative comes out of not knowing
Note: Educators are driven by passion, not by expertise. They, like all, are caught within their own assumptions but move beyond those of the present by being involved in learning as a social act.
