Hi Henrik, Our students are apprentices, typically 18+, except for pre-vocational where some students would be under 18. We only have a maximum of 14 students for a standard class, though have exceeded that number in special circumstances. We currently run 2 blocks for each stage per year so we roughly have between 60 and 90 apprentices in total, but not all attending at the same time!
Hi Daniel, the only time the students use computers themselves is when they do some on-line learning of foundation competencies at the start of their apprenticeships, such as work health and safety, computer applications (using word and excel) sustainability and electrical safety. They also use a computer application at their workplaces to record their work experience or progress through various competencies. Our apprentices use computers in their last two blocks at TAFE where they learn to program Programmable Logic Controllers or PLCs. The rest of the time we teachers use computers to show Power Point presentations and instructional videos to students.
Hi Stephen. How many pupils do you have?
