This unit provides a platform for students to develop in-depth understanding and skills in one area of technological media development. This may include learning and demonstrating the use of new tools, processes, workflows and/or principles for the production of digital media technologies. The unit is open to advanced level students from a wide range of disciplines who work with the production of digital assets. The unit supports students in self-directed learning by exposing students to a range of emerging practices and providing practical advice and assistance from experienced tutors. Tutors work closely with students to help them deliver a proof of concept application of the studied tool, process, workflow or principle.

There are no set texts for this unit but you will be required to develop your own reading list as part of the unit.

Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

This unit is very sensitive to the shifting time pressures on students. We are very happy to grant extensions to students who need to organise their time creatively.  However, it is important that you submit an extension request form at least a week before the due date so we can adjust our work plans to accommodate. It is also important to make sure you keep talking to your tutor, and to keep them informed of your progress.  If you foresee any potential problems, please ensure you negotiate extensions early with your tutor to reduce your stress and to help your tutor manage their time, too.
 

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.

Participation requirements

Students should endeavour to maintain at least 80% attendance for all lectures and tutorials, whether they are virtual or face-to-face. Attendance below 80% may adversely affect your ability to complete the unit at a satisfactory level.
