<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'm happy to share some of the assessment tasks I've done, and I'll give you a quick overview now.<br>
<br>
The first is a written task looking at what careers use 3d animation & visualisation skills, what those employers are looking for, and finding what education pathways exist. The main aim of this is to make the student see the benefit of this course as a starting
point into 3D animation; to make aware of where it can be used; and what they need to do to get there.<br>
<br>
The second project is the collection of the animation made while completing aspects of the course. This does include a few open ended animation where they will design an object that is used, create a walking man animation, and finished with a team project of
a short film.<br>
<br>
I have an old exam from when we used 3DS Max which I'll rewrite as the practical part of the exam. Just quickly, it was a simple clock animation to be complete within a 1 & 1/2 hour time frame.<br>
<br>
This is the second year I have been able to use Blender instead of 3DS Max, and as a result I have spend the last 6 months redrafting the course for more material including unit descriptions, course outline, activity sheets, task summaries, presentation/demonstration
checklists which I was planning to use for my BFCT. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi John & others,<br>
<br>
I'm an Australian secondary school teacher running a blender short course for our students, nothing fancy just a taster. I've had some deallings with Certiport and since our school also runs some Tertiary Trade/TAFE sector certificates. There was no support
and little need to additional Industry Certifications.<br>
<br>
However, I do have some questions about the Industry Certifications. Most online tests is True/False or multi choice, do this follow the same line, or does it include short or long answer questions?<br>
<br>
I'm asking because I'm happy to help build up a collection of questions as I'll be writing the class exam in the next 4 weeks, well the theory part anyway.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jamie Le Rossignol<o:p></o:p></p>

support you efforts and that leaves just the last step of the gov.<br>
That seems simple because the software is free and used to produce<br>
professional projects. You might want to also hunt up a list of these<br>
projects. Last post on something like Blender Artists or News and ask<br>
for help with the project once you have decided to lead it and have<br>
done the groundwork.<br>
