Child Studies - Petersham West St.- Digital Stories in Childcare

Focus of Project

Re-purpose existing paper-based resources and image files into an interactive engaging visual-text format to further enhance learning and support the knowledge transfer for their students studying Child Care.

The team learned how to develop engaging powerpoint presentations in Adobe Presenter with the intent to develop greater facilitated online material using webcast tools such as Connect for synchronous and asynchronous delivery that could be uploaded to the Child Studies Sydney Institute wikispace and Children Services Moodle platform.
