| Summary of Module |
|---|
The Collaborative Project extends students’ abilities and participation in contemporary methods and practices associated with interdisciplinary creative industries practice and convergent production. Students with divergent backgrounds and skill sets will come together in small creative teams to develop and produce a collaborative project in which a range of ideas, experience and technologies converge, all within a matrix of interactivity. It is anticipated these Collaborative Projects will have an on-line output, whether through products devised for streaming, podcasting or interactive broadcast. However, an innovative spectrum of projects will be encouraged including digital film, elements of interactive performance, site specific installations, sonic, music, performance and innovative digital output. Students will gain detailed experience of developing new content in contemporary creative contexts and evaluate the benefits of a variety of production approaches and techniques. The module will address the interface between research and practice with students gaining solid experience of working in an interdisciplinary creative team.
- Student teams will develop a creative concept to a brief, underpinned by appropriate research and critical engagement. They will present their creative concepts to a project-commissioning panel including relevant industry professionals As well as documenting the pre-production work on the project, students will keep a dossier of evidence of project development and a final evaluative presentation and folio demonstrating an awareness of relevant contemporary debates and positioning the project within the contemporary cultural landscape.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations

The modules will be delivered through lectures, small group tutorials and and interactive workshops utilising Aula as VLE. Students will engage in formative projects and then form a group to research , pitch and develop the final interdisciplinary collaborative project output.
Your learning and teaching in Arts & Media aligns to principles set out in the UWS Curriculum Framework 2022. Module and programme design is therefore guided by a flexible, hybrid and student-centred approach. We design module assessments to be authentic both in terms of their academic rigour and relevance to the creative industries.
