Concurrent Workshop 1
VOCEDplus just got even better: discover the new .... as well as the old
Presented by Rose-Anne Polvere
VOCEDplus has recently undergone a refresh resulting in a more enriching experience for users. NCVER's international tertiary education database has improved existing functionality and added new features.
This presentation will take you through the enhancements:
- improved navigation
- better ways to search and work with your search results
- new features that will save you time and effort.
And show you how to use:
- My Profile: log in to gain full access to all new features
- Search history and saved searches: seamlessly retain your search progress across sessions and save searches to run them again
- Emails alerts
- My Selection folders: to organise, save, and categorise items for future reference with ease.
VOCEDplus also plays an important role as archive of the VET sector. Released in 1974, the Kangan report kicked off a period that was known as the 'golden age’. We'll show you the tips and tricks for finding all VOCEDplus content relating to the Kangan report, including review and reflection documents, and it’s place on the Landmark documents timeline as part of the VET Knowledge Bank.
So, join us as we show you these strategies for maximizing your online experience with VOCEDplus!

We are Doctors and may be able to solve your problems! Seriously, a safe space to discuss issues and fears and to get some strategies for actions. We can share experiences and build confidence.
