Video Production

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (29 July 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

The Department for Education and Child Development produces videos for a range of purposes, including the professional development of employees, promotion of initiatives and as a form of communication on important information and expectations to employees.

Some examples of videos produced by the department in 2016 include:

A series of 'webisode' resources to support the development of professional knowledge and skills of early career teachers

Promotion of Aboriginal Children and Family Centres for presentation at national conferences and across agency audiences

Resources to use as part of induction and training about roles in residential care

The increase in expenditure from 2015 to 2016 is due to a significant project to develop 6 'webisodes' as well as a fully interactive online learning module for Introduction to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. The value of this work in total was $180,000. The cost of the videos versus the online learning module could not be isolated.'
