Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Three-hour workshops delivered by a team of experienced practitioners with a range of journalism, publishing, editing and design skills will offer you intensive instruction and insights and also enable you to learn by doing. In addition, there will be three final production days (of six hours each) before the digital magazine is published online (LOs 1-5). There will also be a strong emphasis on independent study with students being encouraged to practice in the computer labs and on their own PCs. Through these workshops and the lectures you will develop writing and design skills acquired in previous modules, evaluate online advertising strategies and develop a critical understanding of the contemporary magazine marketplace both print and diigital. The practical nature of the module will enabled you to develop an understanding of the group dynamics and processes in magazine production and understand the challenges of producing an online magazine by engaging in effective teamwork in order to produce a publication to tight deadlines. The growing shift from print magazines to crafted digital products presents many opportunities for trained, multi-skilled graduates. Acquiring these skills in this sphere will boost employability. This module also calls upon you to be self-reliant and creatively co-operative. Working in a team to produce a digital magazine provides essential employability skills for working as a print and digital journalist and the collaborative and co-operative working are essential skills to all journalists.
|
You will work as part of a team to do a variety of practical formative projects to prepare you for the creation of the final digital magazine. This will include front-cover design, page layout, story-writing and the creation of visual / multimedia content.
|
Working as part of a group (project 80%) you will contribute to the production of a digital magazine. Half of the mark will be awarded for your individual contributions to this; half the mark for teamwork (LOs1-5). You will also be encouraged to develop critical self-evaluation skills through the completion of a reflective log (20%) which will be submitted with the finished project in week 13 (LOs1-2 and LO5).
