Ke Raxuan produced a detailed and beautifully presented powerpoint presentation a model for the kind of resource intended to accompany the module. The outline of the presentation followed the course outline of the WWA Level 1 C005 course ‘Historic Lighthouse Projects’ but after some discussion, it was decided that, the output should be more focussed on the specific needs of AtoN Managers (as this was whom the WWA Level 1 C001 course was aimed at) and also because the module would be just 90 minutes long it needed to be more focussed. Never-the-less, the powerpoint presented by Ke Raxuan was considered to provide a very useful model for that which would ultimately comprise part of the output of this task.
Some time was then spent discussing and agreeing the general objectives of the module which would then allow a framework of content to be agreed. The focus would be on practical solutions and there was to be considerable synergy with the output of Task ENG-2.6.2 Production of Technical or Guidance document on ‘good practice in modernising heritage lighthouses whilst minimising negative heritage impact’. WG3 participants would provide useful case studies to the Task Leader by end April 2024. The task output (when completed) will comprise a powerpoint presentation with accompanying notes, allowing the course tutor to easily (and without particular heritage expertise) deliver the module in a consistent manner.
The Dean of WWA and the IALA Advisor were present for the discussions and provided helpful direction. Further discussion led to a conclusion that a heritage and culture module for the WWA Level 1 C002 Master of AtoN Management course should also be written and that the WWA Level 1 C005 Historic Lighthouse Course would also benefit for review and relaunch. Both these were seen as likely tasks for the next task period.
