The document summarizes the work of the TAFE Queensland Hairdressing Professional Learning Community over 8 weeks. They mapped hairdressing content into topics aligned with qualifications, developed introductory scripts for each unit, and reviewed and rewrote content for one unit. They cut existing haircut structure videos into smaller segments for a YouTube channel. Images were also reviewed and sourced for a unit. Three learning objects from a toolbox were reviewed for tasks and modifications. A word document outlines each topic and identifies subtopics to become online pages with content, questions, and activities.

1. Perspectives, resources and tips from the
TAFE Queensland Hairdressing
Professional learning community (PLC)
2015

3.  8 weeks in, the team has…
 Mapped all content into topics aligned with units

(currently 59 topics - >600 subtopic online pages)
 Developing Talking head /scripts for each unit
introducing the topics and key points
 Male/female version

4.  8 weeks in, the team is…
 Reviewing content, images, videos, activities and
assessment in current Gold Coast learning guides
for cutting cluster (9 units)
 Rewriting the content for unit SIHHHCS301A
Design haircut structures into topic based
structure consolidated content design for
consistency and identifying any gaps in relation
(e.g. drawing haircut structures!)
 Clarifying where topics should be located across
the units
 ? Should consultation topic be in this unit?

5.  Cut and chunked current TAFESW haircut
structure videos into a designated YouTube
channel/media-site transition TBA. Customising
the videos with introductory and summary
screens, smaller segments
 YouTube channel – TAFE North Hairdressing
 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvQ8T5GlHyr8E25mfnL27yz
 Have been granted permission to use Sharon
Blaine videos for long hair design ? With
appropriate attribution

6.  8 weeks in, the team has…
 Reviewed, sourcing and refining images in unit
SIHHHCS301A Design haircut structures

7.  8 weeks in, the team has…
 Reviewed and unpacked 3 of the hairdressing
Cyber-hair toolbox learning objects for review
and task ideas and modifications for use in the
cutting cluster:
 Care for clients, Analyse hair and scalp, Cut hair

8.  A word document is developed for each topic
 Identified sub topics are then developed.

9.  an introductory graphic
 An introductory attention grabber(?) giving the
topic a context e.g. quote, statistics,
hairdresser audio, other

11.  The topic is then subdivided into subtopics
which become discrete online pages
 Each subtopic has current content and other (?)
 Sample of a topic page content for “anatomical
influences”

12.  Each topic then has a series of
interactive/questions to consolidate knowledge
and where applicable references workplace
activities
 ? (do you want these questions and or activities
tracked in connect? And self marked) track
participation and completion. Do you want to
stop them moving forward until answers
completed?
