Case Study: Brett

Brett is submitting a proposal for some special funding to develop the use of technology in the carpentry course. Specifically, he wants to do the following:

  1. turn some of the department's printed workbooks into e-books;
  2. provide each learner with a tablet computer (such as an iPad) which will be used while off-campus. This will enable students to:
  • read the e-books;
  • take photos of building techniques and tools they come across in the workplace and upload these to their own blog;
  • access the polytechnic's Moodle site to take part in discussion forums on set topics; and
  • complete short theory assessment tasks sent out via email.

Before he submits the proposal, Brett asks you for some input to strengthen the proposal.
