Approach to learning and assessment

The approach to learning and assessment for this program will include both supervised and non-supervised forms of training delivery. 

Supervised training describes structured learning and assessment activities that are directed by teachers/trainers. These can include: 

  • Work placements which are mandatory requirements of assessment.
  • Structured online learning activities where there is real time access to your teachers/trainers e.g. online lectures, teacher led discussions and online activities which are assessed or monitored by teachers.
  • Face-to-face learning e.g. tutorials, lectures, scheduled classes.
  • Assessment tasks.

The structured hours in this program are: 1293, of which 808 are directly supervised.

Non-supervised training describes learner-directed/self-paced learning activities and/or work placements. These can include:

  • Learner directed study activities such as research, reading, investigation, practical and/or theoretical practice tests or preparing for assessments. They also include non-structured activities such as practice of technical skills and industry familiarisation. 

The number of non-supervised hours in a program will vary, depending on the learner, but the anticipated non-supervised hours in this program are approximately 485 across 2 semesters. (Approx 12 hours a week)

Successful completion of this program requires you to demonstrate that you are competent in 15 units of competency. 

Your learning environment will involve a broad range of experiences and teaching modes in a combination of lecture, location, tutorial, workshop, studio, practical and laboratory sessions.

The basis of your learning will be the practical application of knowledge and technical skills in the development of screen content production, including documented preparation and post production information.

Learning activities may include lectures, exercises, demonstrations, discussion, peer presentations, guest speakers, screen production work and field trips.  You will participate in presentations in class and class workshopping, class and group discussion, self assessment, reflection and peer review.  Your learning will be supported by on-line resources via MyRMIT.

You will have have access to current production equipment including,

  • pro HD video cameras
  • location lighting
  • sound equipment
  • HD 3 camera digital TV studio
  • computer labs equipped with Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, Soundtrack Pro, PhotoShop, 
  • dual screen edit suites equipped with Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, Soundtrack Pro, PhotoShop

Assessment is ongoing throughout the semester and may include folios, reports, oral class presentations, production work, projects and practical assignments.

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.

General information

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit transfer are ways that RMIT recognises applicants’ skills and knowledge gained through formal and informal education and training, work experience, and/or life experience (including volunteer work, committee responsibilities, family duties, hobbies). If you have already developed competency through prior experience, you may wish to apply for RPL before the program commences or at any time during the program.

Students with disabilities and/or long term medical conditions
If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods.

You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

Work integrated learning

RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT program you will:

  • undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
  • interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
  • complete these activities in real work contexts or situations;

and in addition:

  • these interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience may be simulated.

The WIL nominated course for this program is:
BSBPMG522 Undertake project work.
In this course you will co-ordinate and be responsible for a complete digital media production.

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.
