Approach to learning and assessment

The approach to learning and assessment for this program includes both structured and unstructured forms of training delivery. 

Structured training
Structured training involves teacher directed learning and assessment activities. These activities can be either supervised or unsupervised: 

Structured supervised activities include:
Simulated workplace activities directly supervised by an RMIT trainer or assessor
Structured online learning activities where there is real time access to your teachers e.g. online lectures, teacher led discussions and online activities.
Face-to-face learning e.g. tutorials, lectures, scheduled classes.
Assessment where there is an RMIT assessor present.

Structured unsupervised activities include:
Teacher directed hours that contribute to achieving unit of competency/ course outcomes but that are not directly supervised by an RMIT trainer or assessor. E.g. Set preparation for class, assignment work, online exercises, set reading, mandatory work experience, field placement.

Unstructured training
Unstructured training involves learner directed activities such as research, reading, investigation, online collaboration, practice tests or preparing for assessments. It can also include practice of technical skills, industry familiarisation and work experience (not directly linked to an assessment of course competencies). 

Successful completion of this program requires that you demonstrate that you are competent in 13 units of competency.

Learning is conducted in the following types of environments:

• computer labs – practical classes held in labs that contain industry standard Apple Mac computers and a range of software.
• auditoriums – industry speakers and graduates are invited to share their experiences and provide students with valuable insider information.
• studio – group projects are undertaken in computer labs, reflecting a professional studio production experience.

In addition to computer labs, you have access to cutting-edge production equipment including HD video, professional audio and imaging equipment.

Your learning experience will involve:

In-class activities:

• teacher guided instruction
• peer teaching and class presentations
• group discussion
• independent project based work
• workshopping of students’ own projects
• screenings
• guest lectures

Out-of-class activities will include:

• online activities
• project work
• independent investigation
• independent study

You will have access to online resources through the myRMIT student portal.

Assessment is ongoing throughout the program and you will be assessed by folio submission as well as skills demonstration. Some assessments will be group based but many projects will be individually conducted and assessed. Your assessment tasks may also include presentations, reports, assignments, and projects. Assessment tasks and the form of assessment will be identified in your course guides. Your course guides will also indicate whether grading is applied to an assessment task after competency is established. To access these, please go to the Program Structure section of this Program Guide, select which course you would like to look at and then select which term you would like to view.

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate vocational competency. If you are working, particularly in a job which is related to your studies you will also be learning while at work and may have the opportunity to be assessed in your workplace for some or all of your courses. Feedback from work supervisors and others in the workplace can be used as evidence of competency, and an RMIT University assessor can visit your workplace to observe your work practice.
