Learning Resources and Technologies

Learning Technologies

Learning technologies play an important role in supporting teaching, learning, and assessment across the College. Digital devices are used purposefully to enhance classroom learning, support independent study, and develop the skills students need to engage effectively with contemporary learning environments.

Using a Computer to Submit Work

Students using computers to submit work for assessment are responsible for ensuring that there is an alternative system in case of computer or printer unavailability, that hard copies of work in progress are produced regularly, and that work is regularly backed up to a file not stored on the computer. Work is only regarded as being satisfactorily electronically submitted when it is received by the teacher in good condition and accessible by school programs. Students have a responsibility to ensure that their school email account is serviceable and that they have sufficient print credit to be able to print their work.

Calculator Use

In many subjects a calculator is permitted to be used in School-Assessed Coursework (SACs) and in internal and external examinations. However, where permitted, only a scientific calculator may be used in subjects other than specific Mathematics.

In Mathematics, where a CAS Calculator may be used, only approved VCAA models may be taken into assessment tasks and examinations. The Casio Classpad II CAS calculator is used for General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and for Specialist Mathematics.

Only ONE CAS calculator is permitted in Mathematics examinations. A scientific calculator may also be used. If using a CAS calculator other than these students must confirm with their teacher to confirm the calculator is approved for use by the VCAA.
