| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In this studio-based module, tutor-led lectures and demonstrations will introduce key theoretical, contextual and technical concepts which you will then research further, explore and apply through coursework assignments (LO’s 1-6). Coursework assignments will provide you with a variety of opportunities to learn and to demonstrate evidence of your learning through a process of development and production of outputs for Professional Practice.Teaching and learning takes place in a creative studio environment. A variety of audio visual resources, group discussion and self directed methods (independent learning and study) will be used. These methods are designed to foster and underpin student engagement and academic progression, whilst sensitive to a range of learning styles. You will undertake research exercises exploring a range of areas within the creative industries and the role of designers (LO2) and their skills and core knowledge in relation to your own (LO1). You will examine the relationship and synergies between different design specialisms and other supporting roles (LO2). You will examine case studies for costing and pitching for jobs as a self-employed professional or in a SME (LO4) and appraise the impact on the creative economy (LO2). Working with tutors and peers you will collate a portfolio (both printed and online) of key design projects to date to enhance interview and professional networking opportunities (LO3) and personal presentation skills (LO5)Weekly Tutor-lead demonstrations and lectures will introduce key concepts and skills. You will then work independently and collectively in class under guidance of tutors to explore and apply these ideas in the context of the coursework assignments. Emphasis is placed on independent self-directed and peer-supported learning to allow you to explore and develop your own interests within the subject area in depth. To support this independent learning beyond class time, a range of multimedia resources are provided through the virtual learning environment (Moodle).

Formative feedback is provided throughout the module in class from peers and tutors during regular group discussions and presentations of work in progress. Formative assessment will take place at week 7 during scheduled learning activities. This will help to direct your learning prior to submission of work for summative assessment.
|
Summative assessment will take place through submission of a final portfolio of work which will contain and present all the project work from that trimester. Each portfolio submission provides an opportunity to demonstrate learning across all learning outcomes for the module. The Summative portfolio review takes place in week 15 and verbal feedback is normally recorded. The Portfolio will present your account of the tasks you have undertaken throughout the module as you have gained and developed an understanding of design practice, along with all required deliverable outputs specified in the coursework briefs. In practice, this is presented in a printed and bound A3 booklet and a corresponding PDF submission on Moodle. Submissions will be assessed based on assessment criteria provided within the coursework assignment briefs at the beginning of each project. These assessment criteria are mapped onto the learning outcomes for the module allowing you to clearly demonstrate evidence of achievement of the learning outcomes for the module (LOs1-6).
