Your first assessment is due today and I will allow you to double check all the info rmation prior to handing it in. Check your answers with your team member. Make sure that all your details are listed (name and student ID). Upload the assessment on MyKangan.
Assessment 2
Create an operational plan for yourself. Pick a medium term goal for your career or education and list all the things that you need to plan for by answering the questions.
This can be done individually or in teams of 2.
Upload the assessment on MyKangan.
Below is an example of an approach to Assessment 2: Let’s say my overall goal is to learn Adobe Dreamweaver by 30 January 2014.
So, my clear objective would be to able to design a website in Dreamweaver with an interactive menu, a minimum of three linked pages (home, about us, portfolio) and images that upload. I will be able to include HTML, CSS, JavaScript or JQuery and XML elements.
Where am I now might be: my current Dreamweaver skills are very basic. I need to learn how to develop a web page to suit a specific layout. I need to learn how to add and link images, and add meta data to images. I need to be able to get a better overall understanding of the interface, at the moment I feel to intimidated by it.
The resources that I need are: a computer with Adobe Dreamweaver CS 6, the Internet, and an online tutorial site, eg Adobe TV, Digital Arts Online or Noupe.
I hope this gives you a bit of an idea, what is expected. Make it as realistic as you want.
We will commence the class by looking at the 5 contingency plan examples out of your own life (task from last class) and comparing them in class.
Next you will receive Assessment Task 1.
We will have a guest speaker: Sangeeta Alex. Manager of Customer Relations and Student Services
Personal Contingency Plans
Share your five plans with the other students. If in class share all your 5 examples, if online please submit your example as a comment.

Assessment 1
This assessment is due in 2 weeks. You do not need to make the answers up, you can ask experts and get them to supply you with the answers – it is a research assessment.
Sangeeta Alex is a Manager at Kangan Institute. She is so kind to share some of her knowledge on how to implement operational plans and how to create KPIs. It is a great opportunity to ask her questions. So, try to get as much information of her and use the time well.
