Voice your opinion!
In May, VU is undertaking a university-wide survey
called the “Student Barometer” to evaluate and track the student experience, with the main elements of the instrument focused on learning, living and support whilst at VU. This survey was previously undertaken in 2008 and 2010, providing the University with rich data which has informed improvements in the student experience. If you are interested in viewing this data and what your area has done in response, please visit the intranet page [this can only be accessed on campus].
As in 2008 and 2010, an independent benchmarking and research service ( i-graduate from the UK) has been engaged to implement the on-line instrument, which has the capacity to be benchmarked with other national and international institutions. The 2012 VU Student Barometer survey will be available for domestic and international (onshore and offshore) students until 31 May.

Urgent Announcement!
Hi folks, even though this week is 1 to 1 consultation week, can I ask folks to arrive early and promptly as I have an administrative task that needs undertaking. You should have received an email about it by now. It is the bi-annual student survey about the unit and the instructor. Having everyone there makes it quicker and easier to get the task done.

Tumblrs
Ok folks, as we draw towards the conclusion of this unit, your tumblrs should now be shifting from inspiration from other people’s work to your own experiments and ideas. I will be monitoring you tumblrs over the coming weeks, so expect some feedback there as well as during the one to one consultations, for weeks 9, 10 & 11.

Term Break 2012
Thanks everyone for working so hard on your self portrait assignments this week.
Here is a link to a printable set of instructions on how to do this process.
Some other stuff, you might want to read/watch/ think about I’ve listed below
- For the education students in particular, John Cleese talking about creativity, can it be taught, is it something that operates on its own or can it be controlled?.
- For all of the photographers & artists among us, an article about the sheer volume of photographs being made and what kind of impact this may have on our visual culture.
In an effort to share and expand on our time together this month, try and follow as many of your fellow class member’s blogs as you can find. I’m listing them below. In no particular order, and without separating afternoon or morning classes.

Here is a picture of the button used to find who I follow.
On a slightly related side note, if your tumblr is not listed here, this means I have yet to follow you, so please email me to address this.
A feature that allows me to give feedback directly on each post as you make it is the “let people photo reply” button,[ see picture below] turning this on allows me to comment directly on each photo you post. It also allows others to comment and this may have some undesired consequences, but I think it is a useful tool, so have a play.
Lastly, a feature that can help improve your reach to your audience and connect with other/more creatives is tags. Tags are words that relate to your blog and folio and subject generally. Typing tags such as, photography, art, VU, art photography, will help others find you and you find them. So give it a go, you maybe surprised about who you connect with and what you learn.
