MMS04: Multimedia Media Messaging in the Curriculum

The MMS04 project seeks to engage young people aged between 15 - 25 years of age in a program that offers a range of creative learning experiences utilising face-to-face communication skills, mobile technology use and other evolving or emergent information communication technologies. Swan TAFE, Midland campus, is using the curriculum offered by the ‘Course in Wider Opportunities for Work’ and the Certificate of General Education for Adults (CGEA) as the core framework for the proposed MMS04 project. Within this literacy and numeracy focussed framework, project participants will be engaged in activities which have a literacy, numeracy and life skills focus. This project will provide successful completion with entry level qualifications in Information Communication Technologies (ICT). A large component of this blended learning experience is a negotiable project component where individuals and teams of students interact with other groups of students within a national context. The creative outcomes from this collaboration will be showcased via an interactive electronic interface on the world wide web and within appropriate community events.
