VET FEE HELP Reform


I write to you some hours after the Government has released its first set of information about the much anticipated reforms to VET FEE HELP. While it is very broad we can already draw some conclusions.

WPD Update


 Trainer Portal
It is great to see people using the portal and seeing improvements and efficiencies. We will continue to work on the ease of using the Contact Record, but in the meantime please continue to send feedback on how processes can be improved.
 
Moodle for Certificate III in Business
This is up and running, students are enrolled and it is working VERY well. No doubt we will encounter the odd process hiccup as more students and trainers use it, so please keep the e-learning support team informed with any queries and suggestions you have  elearning_support@megt.com.au   
 
Moodle for other qualifications  
The development of each qualification is well underway. When the moodle site has been completed for each qualification, ready to enrol students, you will receive training in moodle.   
 
Learning Support  
With the e-learning team integrated within WPD we are trialling how we can work together to benefit both students and trainers. The aim is toincrease student engagement, and improve progression and completion rates. A Pilot Team are planning and trialling the delivery of learning support services to support WPD students, and results to date from students and trainers are very positive.
 
Student and Employer Surveys  
We will be surveying our students mid October, and our employers ~24 October, via Survey Monkey to gain feedback on our service and products, and the results will be circulated.
 
Short Courses
Short Course delivery continues to grow week on week, particularly with brand new clients, and we are receiving great feedback.  If any of your clients have an interest (or need) for our short courses please let Kate Hanson kate_hanson@megt.com.au know.  
 
Assessment Cover Sheet
Many will be disappointed to hear that Assessment Cover Sheets will be phased out in coming months (or when a Student Assessment Declaration is completed). The Enrolment Form will be updated to include a clause under the Student Declaration around plagiarism, and the Contact Record will include a clause to indicate that assessment feedback was provided to the student.    
The updated forms will apply to NEW students, however EXISTING students will have to sign a Student Assessment Declaration that includes a plagiarism clause and until they do, Assessment Cover Sheets will be required for that student. This process and links to the documents will be communicated out in a couple of weeks.
 
Thank you to everyone involved in making all of these projects and processes happen!
