West Coast TAFE (Western Australia): The Gaining Access to Employment (GATE) trial will introduce students to a range of technologies then give them the power to choose how, when and where they study. Technologies being trialed will include: blogs, podcasts, web 2.0 tools and mobile learning technologies. South West Institute of TAFE (Victoria): The South West Youth Pod Tour trial is specifically aimed at young people who are disengaged from mainstream education. Students will produce guided tours of their local areas in MP3 and podcast formats. The trial will also help develop confidence, public speaking and presentation skills. TAFE SA Regional (South Australia): The Nursing Pathways-for rural and remote youth trial aims to use virtual classrooms, podcasts, blogs and web 2.0 technologies to help school students in isolated locations successfully complete a nursing pathways program to prepare them for career opportunities in aged care and health support.
