In this studio-based unit students apply their knowledge and skills in digital media production to build creative cutting-edge works designed to delight, surprise and showcase the potential of modern digital media production. These works may be animation-based, video-based or interactive, depending on each individual's preference, and can be team-based or individual projects. Students are given a lot of creative license to show off their skills, but are expected to plan and scope their work carefully, and to put significant effort into documentation and presentation of the final works.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Learner engagement

This project unit requires you to work independently and consistently throughout the semester.  You will need to put as much time as possible into the project work - up to 10 hours per week.  You are expected to attend supervisory meetings regularly, and it is your responsibility to maintain contact with your supervisor throughout the semester.  If your project starts going poorly for any reason, you must let your supervisor know as early as possible so we can negotiate a solution.

Participation requirements

None.  However, note that you must be able to present your presentation in week 3 unless you have made arrangements with the lecturer, and regular contact with your supervisor is essential to ensure you do not end up with a poor final submission.

Required IT skills

Students undertaking this unit are expected the be in the final year of a digital media, games or interaction design degree or major in one of these areas, and are expected to have significant practical digital production skills. If in doubt, please discuss with your unit convenor as early as possible.

Work placement, internships or practicums

None
