TAFE VC - the next system, VISTA

Spent last week navigating the next iteration of WEB CT (the LMS behind TAFE VC) that is to be rolled out across the Victorian VET sector by 2007. Mark Hallam, from WEB CT, facilitated the five day workshop of the pilot Institutes (Gippsland, Swinburne and Kangan).

Lots to do t oget the new system up and going, certainly not "just the click of a button", as one participant first thought of the task.

The great benefits of VISTA is that RTOs can brand their own learning resources and have greater control over the administration of the LMS.

as with all products in our wonderful capitalist system Filiz, there is something better with "more" jsut around the corner, the greatest functional issue is that teachers will be able to load up their own students and RTOs will have greater control over the branding of their TAFEVC presence

I am slighlty suspicious of this VISYTA - it seems we are so wedded to WEBCT that no cheaper alternatives are ever explored
