John Monash Science School • The School Context • Outreach programs currently running • NVSES program
Who can be involved? The program would suit: • Year 10 students – individuals or groups of up to 25 students • Students seeking extension opportunities in science, who are genuinely interested in science and are self-motivated • Schools that would like to provide a Professional Development opportunity for their teachers in the emerging sciences, and in remote delivery of science
How is it delivered? • Modules run for 8 weeks • Two 1-hour synchronous lessons each week along with homework • Students participate in live lessons via web video-conferencing and collaboration tools • No fees for students or school for access to curriculum and resources • Students receive an NVSES report for each module completed
What is needed to participate? • High-speed internet access: NBN or high-speed broadband • Normal school connection should cope with small groups of students (up to 5-10). Larger student numbers may depend on whole school usage at the time (e.g. if other classes are accessing multimedia resources that also require high bandwidth). • Students: access to individual or shared computers/laptops (with integrated webcams and headsets, or plug and play video & audio capabilities) • Open access to online resources (school firewalls and content filters enabled for access) • A liaison teacher and access to local school technical ICT support
