I work at TAFE as a Multimedia lecturer and recently asked my students to do a FLASH based project as an assessment . The project is an interactive
presentation on "investing in interstate residential property".
I had a choice of several topics to ask the students to choose from..the
objective being that I do all the research and provide them with raw
content, and, they on their part, would be expected to do the majority of
interface design, navigation and scripting with some help from me whenever
needed.
I felt that a project like this would be a meaningful and practical activity that would benefit my students as well as their target audience (in this case somersoft members). I approached one of the mods, GeoffW and told him what we intended doing and whether it would be ok to present the best of the student projects as a free resource to forumites. Geoffw has suggested I post this link and see what reaction we get...

The objective of the resource is:
I acknowledge that some of the content is debatable and I DO NOT consider
myself an expert in this.
The student who has since graduated (with a Cert 4) and I will be able to make some minimal modifications if necessary based on the type of requests received, the frequency of change required and the impact on file size, speed etc. any requested changes may require.
Also, please note that, it can take AGES for the page to load up. It's not
very suited if you have a dial up connection but should be fine for broadband users. The first page has a an option to turn sound off and on. If you are
experiencing problems, it's probably best to have sound off.
Cheers

The objective of the resource is:
- To offer the finished product as a resource for the benefit of forum members and get input from forum members (if they wish) on the content.
- For the student to get some form of recognition (praise, commendation etc) which they can include in their resume. They can then point potential employers to this resource after completing TAFE.
