No project too small
Topic: Primary School
Someone's bound to ask: How did you get interested in this stuff?

My partner at the time worked for a medium-sized primary school in Australia. Once a month, she would come home frustrated and annoyed because of the school newsletter.

The school did their newsletter on MSWord. One person in the office staff was in charge of it. It was an integral and expected part of the school functions. Parents, students, teachers, school board members, and the community read it.
The newsletter had to have a professional appearance.
To save some money on postage, the Principal wanted the newsletter to go out as email whenever possible. However, because the school logo and other images were scanned, the resulting Word file was consistently too large (often over 3Mbytes!) for the education department email system.

I tried a couple of times to explain how to solve the problem, but at those times my ex was hardly interested in listening. She just wanted to vent. -- The whole thing struck me as funny, month after month.
Then the government got involved.

Victorian State Premier Steve Bracks kept a campaign promise to maintain the technology levels available to public schools. Every 3 years or so, every school got brand new computers, laptops, and upgraded MSOffice software.
Impressive.
The hardware and software soon outdistanced the teachers and administration staff who were supposed to use it.
So...

The Bracks government contracted for tens of millions of dollars to take blended software training to the schools. Since it cost the schools nothing, many schools signed on. -- On the face of it, a perfect solution.

Unfortunately, the school staff struggled to be free for an hour once a fortnight to spend with the trainer. The three hours practice a week on school time was impossible!
Result: The whole office staff, including casuals and some volunteers, came away dazed and wondering at their new Cert III in MSOffice -- and the school newsletter still couldn't go out by email!!

I used to tell the story to friends as a joke.

Using my online Cert IV in Training and Assessment as an excuse, I prepared for my final project a training website to show the school how to produce the newsletter in MSWord and send it out via email.

About the time I finished the course, the school hierarchy had an epiphany: We'll do it in MSPublisher!
As far as I know, it still doesn't go out via email though...
And that is how I became interested in vocational elearning.
