Whether you're a corporate communicator or a content creator, a brand manager or a journalist, something that every communication and media professional has in common is the need to engage, inform, and entertain with quality media. In this unit, you will produce audiovisual and multimedia products, considering how best to tailor your communication for different audiences and platforms, and how your work interacts with emerging technologies and trends. In response to a series of task briefs linked to real-world industry scenarios, and working both independently and in teams, you will be guided through the creation of products from design to delivery.

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.
