An Overview - Unit G322 Key Media Concepts
As this is a new course it is important to have an overview so that you know what you have let yourself in for.
OCR suggest that theory and coursework support each other and develop along side each other. The suggested learning time is that students receive 180 ‘guided learning hours’ per year. You could divide this half and half between class work and homework.
I think you have more control over quality and deadlines if as much coursework as possible is done in classroom time and with school/college facilities. It is worth being tough over this.
Some students may want to work with video editing etc at home – I strongly suggest you do not allow this, as you are unlikely to see the course work until the deadline, which will mean you have no control over quality. Also some formats may not be compatible and this could cause problems.
As a moderator I find that a lot of the best work comes from schools/colleges who exercise a lot of quality control (not assistance) by keeping coursework in supervised time.
THIS IS HOW THE COURSE LOOKS…
