Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
The program uses a variety of learning and teaching approaches. The focus is on studio-based practice, but may also include lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars, studio practice, problem-based learning, and reflection. You may participate in: online and face-to-face activities, presentations, group-based learning, and discussions. You will engage in negotiated learning for the major project or internship.
Workshopping and peer review are key learning activity in this program. This is the feedback you receive on your digital outcomes from your peers and lecturer. You are expected to engage in feedback on your own work and that of others. This approach is integral to the learning environment and for your future creative practice.
The assessment consists of specific assignments, portfolio production, presentations, and peer or industry review. Projects and presentations relate to industry-specific outcomes. These may be public showings or online outcomes.
You will build upon your knowledge and skills of digital media theory and practice throughout the program. You will undertake either Digital Media Major Project (COMM2586) or Digital Media Internship (COMM2584) in your final semester. This will be a capstone experience designed as the culmination of your learning throughout the program.
RMIT advice
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the Program Coordinator or the Disability Liaison Unit if you would like to find out more.
