Which Target Learning VCD membership should I buy?

There are four different membership plans. Each one is designed to cater for different needs.

TRIAL MEMBERSHIP
The Trial membership will give one person access to the site for three days. This should give you enough time to explore the breadth and depth of Target Learning VCD and, hopefully, take up a one-year membership before the end of the trial period.

SINGLE MEMBERSHIP
The Student/ Teacher membership gives one person access to the whole site. It is priced similarly to a regular textbook and has linked and video tutorials for students and teachers. It is suitable for reference and independent learning. It is neither suitable, nor the best value for teachers to purchase for their class, as copying from pages is prevented.

MULTI MEMBERSHIPS
Multi-login memberships are the way for teachers to share content with their students. Teachers can have their class work on tasks together, at their own pace and at home on their own devices. The theory and knowledge pages, many with marked quizzes, are also perfect for independent revision. In addition, the how-to videos support students wherever they are. For 2023 - 2024 the Multi-memberships are;

  • Class = for up to 25 logins
  • VCE = for up to 50 logins
  • Senior School = for up to 80 logins
  • School = for up to 100 logins.

How do I refer to Target Learning VCD on my LMS?

You can't copy content and upload it on your LMS. To refer to content, simply go to the page you want and copy the URL/address of that page as a link into your LMS.

If you want to refer to a specific part of a page, press one of the page links near the top of the page, see it scroll down to that section and copy the URL as a link into your LMS. Links for content within a page look like a page link/ + #word at the end.

Setting & Doing tasks

Does my class have to do all of the tasks on a Learning or Assessment page?
No, the tasks are designed to help students embed their understanding of a skill or concept. They work in different and multiple ways. Depending on the time teachers set for coursework, they can have students do some tasks whilst leaving other tasks out. Simply refer to tasks by page and number in your task outline.

How can I assign some tasks but not others?
A special feature of the Target Learning VCD programs is that all of the tasks, even those in the Know & Do pages, have IDs that can be hyperlinked from a college LMS or a Word file. The image at right shows a Word file where the teacher has created links to every task they expect their students to complete for assessment. Simply write <page url> + #task + number + - + number. An example is:

https://targetlearning.com.au/2024-vcd-assess-menu/2024-vcd-u1o2-assessment-task/#task1-2

Please note:

  1. Replace the period (.) in the task number with a hyphen (-). Eg; #task2-4
  2. Don't forget to include the ID symbol (#) in your task numbers. Eg; #task2-2
  3. Don't forget to press 'Return' in your Word file to make the hyperlink active
  4. And of course, students have to be signed in to view the tasks you set.

How do I create student/ sub-accounts in my classroom account?

There are two ways to create student sub accounts in the Classroom membership for Target Learning VCD. In both ways, the teacher begins by purchasing and creating their school account. From there, there are two options:

  1. Send a link to your students and have them create their own accounts with their own names, passwords, etc.
  2. The teacher creates sub accounts, entering the students' details. Following this, the students will receive confirmation emails asking them to reset their passwords.

The two methods are shown below. (Please note: if the membership purchase is by credit card the process can be completed immediately. If it is by School Purchase Order, the teacher needs to wait until their account is processed and they receive confirmation from Target Learning).

Please note:

Please only use school or college email accounts for your students. Do not use private ( ... @gmail.com, etc.) accounts for them, as they are filtered as student accounts to prevent them from receiving advertising information from Target Learning.

Teachers may wish to create a list of student user names and passwords for each student before the process begins in case students lose their details.

Method 1. Create sub-accounts by sending a link to your students (Recommended)

Can I transfer my account to another teacher?

From time to time, teachers ask to transfer their account to someone else who has replaced them in their allotment. The terms and conditions of Target Learning VCD do not permit the transfer of membership between schools. However, this is possible for teachers requesting to transfer it within their school.

Unfortunately, the user name (usually the account holder's email address) cannot be changed. There are two options when requesting to transfer an account to another teacher.

  1. If the registered teacher submits the first and last name and the email address of the teacher to whom they wish to transfer the membership, then the Target Learning team will update the contact email address and send the new teacher a password reset email. However, please note the user name (usually the email address of the teacher who registered initially) will remain as is. If it is a multi-login membership, the sub-account logins will remain as is.
  2. If the registered teacher wishes that their user name be deleted from Target Learning, the membership can be deleted and re-registered under a new name. Target Learning requires that the currently registered teacher send the first and last name and the email address of the teacher to whom they wish to transfer the membership. A new membership will then be created with the new teacher's email address as the username and contact email. They will receive a password reset link email. Please note:
    1. the newly re-created membership will expire on the same date as the original, now deleted membership.
    2. if the Membership is a multi-login membership, then all sub-accounts will be lost and need to be recreated.
