Wimmera Virtual Schools (WVS) Eleven Wimmera Government schools have launched a new era of curriculum provision delivering Physics, Psychology, Mathematical Methods, Chemistry and Physical Education via newly installed video conferencing infrastructure. WVS is one component of a pilot about rural curriculum provision across Loddon Campaspe and Grampians regions. This innovative Blended Curriculum Provision model includes face to face instruction, digitised (recorded) audio and video instructional material, video conference lessons, special purpose podcasts and vodcasts, an Online Learning Management System using the Moodle software package for 24/7 access, and personal conferencing technologies. A key feature of the success so far of WVS is its collaborative protocol, and focus on building the capacity of students and teachers to embrace the new technology. An extension of the project is exploration of the blended provision across the P – 10 years. [|Click here to listen to the Live recorded Presentation]
