| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs The weekly three-hour session is designed to be a multi-purpose workshop, which may involve different aspects each week, including lecture and tutorial elements that cover the key skills in news writing and core journalistic skills (covering LO 1-5), discussions, field trips (to see news in action, such as at the Scottish Parliament for example) and off-campus work (to conduct voxpops, for instance), and news days that will aim to replicate industry practice. You will learn the fundamentals of news writing and aim to achieve a professional standard with your own work. Each news day will run for six hours, necessitating an earlier start and later finish to the usual class times. Specific timings will be communicated to students in advance of each news day (there will be two non-assessed news days around weeks 11, 12 and 13 – depending on room and student availability - plus an assessed news day in week 14 that all students MUST attend). Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThis module is vocational as well as reflective in nature and will be delivered by an experienced practitioner. Activities on this module will develop essential employability skills. Assessments are designed to provide you with employability skills relevant for working in today’s news and information media. The multimedia newsroom creates an authentic working environment, allowing you to participate in work-simulated exercises. You will develop critical oral and written communication skills, by working individually and as part of a news team, through collaborative learning, peer review, tutor feedback, and assessed work.
