Here is a copy and paste of the Webquest/digital design project as outlined in our my.TAFE page

**Introduction**
This digital content design project is the major learning activity for the Digital Content - Leading Practice community in April and May 2012. The aim of this activity is to provide experience in sourcing and researching the topics of copyright, access and equity and accessibility in relation to the design, development and evaluation of digital content and from this research synthesise and design a simnple digital content resource that can be shared with their VET practitioner colleagues and presented at the residential workshop on May 24th 2012. Participants will experience and collaborate in a virtual team approach to the design and development of this digital content resource.

**Participants**
This group activity is a research and design task that requires basic internet navigation skills but prior knowledge of the content areas is not required. A capacity to work in a team, manage priorities and be creative and consultative is a must! Plus don't forget that connecting with at least one librarian and making them part of your research team is a must.  **Digital Content Design and standards** Participants will enhance their knowledge of This activity will involve library mentors/support sourced from Institute librarians. **Process** This webquest activity will be launched on the 12th April via the Blogger to do list and will be completed and presented at the May 24th residential workshop in Brisbane. This activity will be completed as a 5-6 person group activity. Groups have been detemined by the facilitator and listed on the right hand top of this page Group development and activity time will be scheduled at the 2 web conferences on May 4th and May 18th. Some time outside of these web conferences may need to be allocated to achieve the outcomes of this activity, however this is determined by each group as they see fit. **Outcomes** Each group will design a digital content resource (Basic Rubric supplied) that summarises/highlights the key aspects of The digital content resource that is designed needs to focus on the VET teacher client group and be one of the digital content resources that teachers can be directed to as they enhance and design their digital content resources into the future. The design and format of this resource is determined collaboratively by the project teams and will be presented by each group at the 25th May residential workshop. Groups will be given time on the morning of the 24th May to finalise this presentation.
