georgia.adamsY7's curator insight, June 2, 2020 8:07 PM
ACMI: Education is the primary source that I had used to develop my mini-unit plan. This resource, in particular, influenced how I constructed my mini-unit plan around English and the Media. This source gave insight into how I could redefine English studies, making it more relevant and engaging to students of the 21st century. From this resource, I was also able to understand how English studies could reach the redefinition level of the SAMR model, which, in turn, generated various ideas.

AMEB | Online Theory Courses

From www.ameb.edu.au - April 7, 2020 12:57 AM

Theory of Music online courses now FREE

As a part of efforts to support music education through the COVID-19 outbreak, we're providing FREE online Theory of Music courses. View all the other support on offer here. AMEB's Online Theory courses allow students to learn music theory at their own pace, independently or supporting what is taught in the classroom or private music studio.

Our online courses for Grades 1 to 3 Theory of Music are now free until June 30 from exams.ameb.edu.au. AMEB has made their Theory Courses free for the time being while we all adapt to learning from home and we hope that teachers, parents and students find this a useful resource.

AMEB is a self-funding organisation that relies on exam fees and book sales to fund the activities that we undertake. For that reason, it is not possible to make exams free.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
The Australian Music Examinations Board is making available some of their Theory of Music courses online.
