DEVAN Conference 2012 Sydney Distance Education High School Forrest Shrine Sculptural Workshop Matt Beyer Copper Sulphate Etching workshop || Support pack provided || Looking Through Glass Gilbert Bel-Bachir || Attend Photography Exhibition Opening || Idea: for case study Interview with Gilbert Bel-Bachir. Resource could then be used for Stage 6 Photography or Visual Arts || Investigate idea of “SIM on a stick” to have virtual experience of Biennale – also include student artmaking task within Biennale site. Lindie (SDEHS) and Tiffeny (SXDE) to collaborate || Video in Moodle Debbie Murray PDM course materials Anne Hodgson Visual Design course materials Tiffeny Cox Year 12 Case Study Shock Art || Videos issued to all in attendance Put on Equella when it goes live Investigate possibilities of further TPL with Rachel on video production Materials can be emailed to those who would like it Have purchased “Portable Photo Studio and lighting Kit” from Officeworks and recommends to other DE s Photocopies of some resources issued Copy issued to all Des Duncan requested copy of Gordon Bennett Case Study || Funding application priorities Learning materials production Discussion of SXLMPU procedures delivered to KDEC also showcased at DE Symposium 2011 and 2012. (These have been mandated at SXDE) DEVAN Network Coordinating Discussion around Coordinator position, guidelines for role and processes for changing coordinator Equella Discussion on sharing of resources and metadata required Communication || Idea: Have conferences at SDEHS to tie into the Biennale every 2 years. The focus of these conferences would be artists practice/ contemporary practice. Alternate year’s conferences split between other DE s as host. Focus of these conferences would be on resource development. Would need an inspiration source for material development such as we had previously at Bundanon. 2013: Dubbo’s turn to host but need to consider viability. Possibly look at revisiting Bundanon, Duncan to investigate availability and costing’s. Or Possibly Broken Hill, Lindie to investigate venue and costing’s. Idea was floated to go to Hobart to MONA Gallery. Travel interstate is difficult to organise and would require approval for all from their SEDS and Regional Directors. Cost may also prevent members from being able to attend; we need each DE to be able send 1 or more representatives each year. 1.Gilbert Bel-Bachir Photographer: Develop case study and Interview with Artist by T. Cox( having made the contact with Gilbert Bel-Bachir Costs would be Tiffeny Cox travelling to Sydney – 2. MAC ICT: access courses run by Macquarie university. Target staff from DE to enrol in relevant ICT courses to support delivery of materials to students. These staff can then train others and share resources they develop. Approximately $300 - $500 cost per course 3. Resource development: Focus on developing materials that suit the needs of our students. Look at developing materials at 3 levels LD / Core / Extension (GATS). Training with staff from DESU or other relevant person to work with DEVAN on training to write LD materials appropriately. As a Network we agree that the SXLMPU template and processes do not meet the needs of Visual Art, Photography and Visual Design. We require far more flexibility within the template. PDM materials showcased by D. Murray were outstanding quality and reflect the needs of our courses. As we focus on contemporary artmaking we believe we need to focus on keeping our materials contemporary utilising contemporary technologies to engage our students. Ghetto Biennales: contemporary artmaking / curating, could be a great idea to pursue for case study Agreed to share role amongst the different DEs to give DEVAN members the opportunity for TPL and leadership experience with a 3 year tenure period for Coordinator position. As of 2013 coordinator role will go to Duncan at SDEHS. Continue to share and delegate responsibilities for conference organisation and other tasks to maintain democratic approach to maintaining effective running of DEVAN. VC to be held week 8 Term 3. This will be after RDE staff will have visited most DEs in term 3 completing the Equella training package.
