Geoff Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I notice the BBC are reporting that GCSE coursework is going to be scrapped for 9 core subjects due 'cheating', eg help from parents and/or copying of the internet. Instead, pupils will be doing 'monitored' projects in school during class time. Doesn't this make the current push for VLE's rather pointless?
webman Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Obviously the government communication systems are having a few issues then
CyberNerd Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Doesn't this make the current push for VLE's rather pointless? VLE's were soooo last year. really though, VLE's aren't (or don't need to be) just for graded coursework.
steve Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Yep, I can smugly say i spotted this a mile off http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4386
MkII Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Teachers are scared of losing importance and being relegated to their PC marking work on a VLE. They know that eventually the schools they teach in will be manned solely by the IT techs - no teachers required. They're just putting off the inevitable as much as they can. This is their last stand.. bless!
