Virtual Learning Network (VLN) Courses for Students and Teachers

Natcoll Online Courses 2011

Natcoll Education Services is delighted to announce the availability of online courses in Digital Media that may be suitable for Gateway students in 2011!

All Natcoll online courses are practical, relevant and affordable; and designed for individuals wanting to develop new digital media skills for personal or professional development. They are delivered using the Adobe Connect application which is downloaded automatically on to each participant’s computer for each session. Students can interact with their tutor via microphone, live chat or text during online classes or through an online forum where they can share questions, ideas or examples of their work with their tutor and/or other students.

STAR funding

STAR courses are a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their creative abilities and learn skills and techniques in digital media design. Natcoll’s online short courses may fit with STAR funding criteria, where the intention of STAR is to allow schools to provide individual students with learning experiences that link to a particular student’s career interests, which schools would not normally offer.  Unit standards assessments will be offered with some courses.

Gateway funding

Natcoll will also be offering extended online courses which will run for either two or four school terms. These courses may be suitable for students looking for an introduction to the types of skills and practices used in digital media workplaces. Longer courses will also involve students attending a 2‐day workshop at a Natcoll Design Technology campus during the mid-course school holidays. Where available, industry level unit standards assessments will be offered in these courses.
