Professional Learning is a core area of involvement for Visual Communication Victoria. It is an area that is central to our purpose and function. The Council and its Extension Officer work throughout the year to locate and present inspirational pedagogy, develop and deliver workshops in areas of need for practicing and emerging teachers of the subject and with professional designers and education specialists to ensure that all teachers have access to Professional Learning opportunities.  This section of the site is separated into 3 main areas. Our Network Community is an area where teachers can share ideas, work samples and local knowledge, Workshops run in both centralised and localised environments depending on the content and the expertise available whilst our Annual Conference is held at Swinburne University. This conference brings together a range of specialist teachers and design practitioners, leaders in the field of design education and a range of traders who showcase the latest in teaching materials.
