a new way to Study & Learn
This is your gateway to a new way of learning. The courses on offer provide opportunities to engage in an independent though collaborative learning experience where you will learn by “doing” and “reflecting”.
In order to build a genuine community of practice each student is required in the first week to create a space of their own, a space to describe your work, receive feedback, and reflect on your progress.
In addition to your work being open, all of your peers’ work and the course organization is delivered in an open and transparent manner. This allows all of us to use our talents; as everyone has something to learn and something to teach and provides opportunities for all of us to Step forward and try new things! A majority of activities in each course are designed to reflect real-life tasks, with the aim of making all of our learning experience active, useful, and related to the world.

At first I thought I was never going to be able to understand unity it was very daunting in the beginning but with plenty of repetition and constantly looking over previous tutorials its now becoming more manageable #dmed2023

Some days I find myself getting a bit bogged down with the unity tutorials and then other days I’m flying with it all. I’m delighted this module is laid out so well so even when I feel I’m falling behind I can still try and organize myself in a positive way! #dmed2023 pic.twitter.com/UWORfZTrau

“I’m happy and proud enough that I tried in this mission and that’s all that matters. The point of this module is to learn and I learned a whole lot about digital audio and podcast making.”

“The module that I have enjoyed the most since starting college would have to be Intro to Digital Media. Even though out of all the modules it is the one that involves the most work, I have thoroughly enjoyed the wide array of subjects we get to choose from and the tasks that we have to complete within them.”

“I found it difficult to work in a group as we all had different timetables and were not always free at the same time. Slack made this easier as we could communicate back and forward to each other about the mission“

“hopefully, by the end of this four-year course, I can come back to this, my first presentation and still be proud of it but have lots more ideas on how I could improve it. It would be great to see and it would really be a tell on how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learned!!”
