Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
This program is flexible and modular in design, catering for full- and part-time students. All courses are delivered in a blended learning mode. Every week you access instruction- and activity-rich content via Canvas, our learning management system, and attend a face-to-face or online class. These classes are held at RMIT’s city campus or on Collaborate Ultra in Canvas.
Learning activities include lectures, workshops, demonstrations, presentations, project work, practical exercises, and discussion in class and online forums. You benefit from regular feedback from your teacher and from peers in class workshopping. Industry speakers share their specialist knowledge and expertise, and in the WIL-designated course provide feedback on your work.
Your assessment tasks are closely linked to work performed by writers and editors:
- preparing planning and review documents, reports, correspondence, timelines and budgets
- presenting ideas, concepts and proposals
- writing in publishable forms, such as short stories, flash fiction, articles, reviews, advertising copy, online content and more
- providing feedback to writers on their work, and considering and implementing feedback on your own work provided by others
- completing editing tasks using conventional tools, techniques and software
- designing and producing templates, documents and publications using industry-standard software.
In this program, assessment is ongoing throughout the course. Assessment tasks are identified in your course guides, and detailed assessment briefs are available in Canvas. To access your course guides, go to the Program Structure section of this Program Guide, and select the course and term you would like to view.
If you have already developed competency through prior experience (for example, through study or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. The RMIT website explains about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
If you have a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition, aspects of the learning or assessment methods could be varied. RMIT provides support and equal opportunities through the Equitable Learning Services. For more information, contact this service or your program coordinator.
