This document provides an overview and guidance for a media studies assessment. Section A involves writing about production experiences and creative decision making over two years, applying theoretical contexts. For question 1b, students must analyze one of their productions using a concept from the specification list, such as genre, narrative or representation. Section B involves analyzing media texts and theories. It discusses concepts like democracy, participation, and debates around the impact of new media. Students are encouraged to use examples from their own work and additional research to understand contested views in media theory.
This document discusses technology in learning and design. It suggests that electronic reading resources should be the norm, and that content should include audio, video, and opportunities for students to upload content and do programming. It also recommends weekly updates by tutors and a range of discussion forum dynamics. Blended learning should avoid novelty for its own sake. Access issues, both physical and related to students' academic capital, must also be considered. Linkages to networks and consultation should be varied. Virtual world learning allows students to do things they cannot otherwise. The document discusses pedagogy as a creative practice of making and fashioning effective learning environments. It notes a lack of student voice in research on virtual educational opportunities and constraints. Forms of

This document discusses using media for social change through the concept of "mediaptation", which involves both adapting media practices and objectives to create change. It explores critical media literacy and proposes a framework of "dual adaptation", where media and objectives are adapted in both directions. Students are asked to discuss ideas for social projects that use media for change, and to consider how those ideas both adapt media and adapt objectives. The document emphasizes developing a critical, situated view of one's role and considering whose terms are being used when discussing media literacy and civic action.
This document discusses various topics related to media and collective identity. It begins with a discussion of how radio, TV and music like hip hop have helped form generational identities. It then discusses macro level media theories from thinkers like Mill, Plato and Althusser. Several TV shows are analyzed in terms of how they represent working class Britain and issues of race. The document also discusses representations of gender, sexuality, and youth in various media forms. It examines ideas of postmodern identity in newer media like games and social networks. Overall, the document takes a wide view of how media shapes concepts of self and society.
