Working Hard

I have been busy working on some extra bits and pieces for next year, planning and developing some projects that hopefully will interest the students. However, this has now come to a bit of a halt until I start reading what the new standards available are. This will probably require some adjustment to my courses. Considering the Unit Standard 2780 used to be a Level 2 standard worth 9 credits, now goes to a level 1 standard worth 3 credits. This is a huge drop in credits and level.
Each unit standard will have equivalent credit value which equates to 1 credit = 10 hours of teaching, learning and assessment
To give you some idea, 3 credits should equal 30 hours of classwork/homework.

I am waiting for someone to download all the new standards and zip them into a nice package for me,
