Update by Hillary

My contribution to the project work has had to take a back seat for the past 5 days or so as responsibilities regarding programme management and the creation of a programme document for our school's new Diploma in Applied Travel and Tourism have taken priority. The work for this is comprehensive - the document is printed and now awaits approval from AAC next Thursday. I have a meeting with Robyn Hogan from AAC to go over the procedure and any questions which are likely to arise.

I have also started the coordination of development work for this programme which is on a fast track as we start the programme on Feb 12. Who needs weekends.

Back to the DIT diploma. It has taken at times been difficult to know when to stop developing in one area. You keep finding new information and sources during your research that it is so tempting to rework what you have already completed. Trying hard not to do this and also time restraints have stopped this. I have nearly finished my section of the Tourism Industry but need a good run of at, which is hard when I am dealing with other pressing issues. Next week. In the meantime I have started on geography and will work on that this weekend.

I have had to put on hold our intended two day workshop but will have to dedicate next Friday to hopefully catching up with Sunshine (our designer) and Leigh so that we can go over the Blackboard set up. I have also been keeping an eye on enrollments as our programme has been under strategic and financial review - they are looking viable so that is good. In the meantime back to developing and taking some photos.

Cheers

Hello Hillary. :) its nice to have you in here at last - though I know you have been all along. I've been keeping the wikiversity entry up to date as you pass me the content you finish. As it is all a bit of a rush job, there are bound to be mistakes, so the process of getting into wikiversity is helping to pick up a few, and hopefully some peer review will help with the rest. Looking forward to seeing geography, as I can imagine this to be a more interesting topic - in terms of potential for multi media content.
