''Wimmera Virtual School'' (WVS) is a consortium of eleven Wimmera Government schools who have launched a new era of curriculum provision delivering Physics, Psychology, Mathematical Methods, Chemistry and Physical Education via newly installed video conferencing infrastructure. It is also called '''Grampians Virtual School'''.
#REDIRECT [[Grampians Virtual School]]
 
WVS is one component of a pilot about rural curriculum provision across Loddon Campaspe and Grampians regions.
 
This innovative Blended Curriculum Provision model includes face-to-face instruction, digitised (recorded) audio and video instructional material, video conference lessons, special purpose podcasts and vodcasts, an Online Learning Management System using the Moodle software package for 24/7 access, and personal conferencing technologies.
 
A key feature of the success so far of WVS is its collaborative protocol, and focus on building the capacity of students and teachers to embrace the new technology.
 
There is a sort of web site at http://grampiansvirtualschool.wikispaces.com/
 
Be that as it may, the project is incredibly well documented in the public domain.
