  7. Questions we should be asking about articulation • Should articulation be an outcome from a TAFE qualification? • Who should be responsible for pathways-should TAFE compromise? • How can TAFE courses be modified? • How can assessment be documented?

  8. Changes needed in Victoria • Course documentation that reveals underpinning knowledge • Course ‘enhancement’ that increases knowledge components • Funding for knowledge

  9. Changes needed nationally • HECS/VECS • ANTA commitment to knowledge & competency • Recognition that all work is ‘knowledge work’ • Articulation legitimised & built into course design • National credit transfer system

Articulation urls • ECTS - European Credit Transfer System • http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/socrates/ects.html • UMAP – University Mobility in Asia & the Pacific • http://www.avcc.edu.au/policies_activities/international_relations/umap/index.htm • NCVER Credit Transfer site • http://www.ncver.edu.au/edna/credtran.htm • TAFE SA 2002 Articulation and Credit Transfer • http://www.tafe.sa.edu.au/vet_div/irsi/credittransfer/
