This is a blended learning course unit which involves face to face sessions and an e-learning element. Both modes of study employ a range of learning approaches including tutor and ‘expert’ led presentations; small, large and whole group discussions; peer-assessment; workshops; textual analyses (including visual texts) and student-led presentations.  This course unit requires active participation throughout. Coursework is created on an individual basis but collaboration with other students is encouraged where each student takes on a lead director/producer role.

Students will develop transferable skills in project management, video production, analytical/ critical review, group work, interpersonal skills, and communication skills.
