1) By portraying minorities in stereotypical ways or in settings that play up to stereotypes from the perspective of the majority.
2) By depicting minorities as experiencing the same things as the majority, like The Cosby Show did by showing a black family living a similar middle-class lifestyle as white families.

News contexts and Q3
The political context influences newspaper ownership and regulation in several ways:
1) Newspapers are often owned by wealthy individuals seeking political/social influence rather than just profits, unlike other industries.
2) Regulators like the Competition and Markets Authority limit ownership concentration to promote media plurality and free market competition.
3) Newspapers have editorial freedom but owners can still influence content through close relationships with politicians, as the Leveson Inquiry found.
4) Newspapers self-regulate but competing regulatory bodies like IPSO and Impress illustrate debates around how this should work.

Genre analysis and themes
John Grierson coined the term "documentary" in 1928 to describe non-fiction films that documented real people and events. Documentaries use actual footage or reconstructions to tell a story, and may include narration or rely on participants to provide context. While documenting facts, documentaries can make socially critical arguments by focusing on people and events to prompt audiences to draw their own conclusions about important social issues.
Genre analysis and themes
John Grierson coined the term "documentary" in 1928 to describe films that documented real people and events factually. Documentaries use actual footage or reconstructions, sometimes with narration, to present facts about social issues and invite audiences to draw their own conclusions. Central to documentaries is their focus on and questioning of real people and events in a social context in a way that allows viewers to form opinions on the subjects depicted.
Evaluation of the preliminary task
The document provides feedback on ways to improve a documentary project. It notes that the quality of pictures needs to be clearer. The interview setting needs to include props related to the topic of phones to better convey the subject matter. Additionally, the audio of interviews was too quiet and the environment noisy, so different locations limiting background noise are needed. Editing and cuts between clips were too abrupt at times as well. Areas done well included interviewing a wide range of people and choosing appropriate background music to engage viewers.
Editing the print ad
The document discusses editing a print ad for a documentary about running. It describes cropping the image tighter, removing imperfections in the background, and converting it to black and white to make it stand out more. It then details duplicating and motion blurring the legs to give the impression of movement and running. Finally, it mentions adding the BBC logo and including the title, tagline, date, and time at the bottom in smaller white writing with black outlines.
Evaluation preliminary documentary
The documentary evaluation provides feedback from the audience to improve the film. It recommends that the filmmaker get archive images that are more focused, as some images were difficult to understand. It also suggests adjusting sound levels so interviews are clearly heard over the soundtrack. Adding the names of professionals interviewed and improving the mise-en-scene to make it more relevant to the production are other recommendations.
Initial planning
Our target audience for the running documentary is people aged 16+ because they are more likely to be involved in fitness activities. The documentary will air on Channel 4 and its on-demand service 4OD since our survey found most of the target audience prefers being able to watch it whenever their schedule allows. The topic of the documentary is running because focusing on this allowed our group to come up with many interesting ideas and information to keep audiences engaged while also making planning and production easier.
Documentary evaluation – question two
The documentary, radio trailer, and print advert were created to promote a documentary about how technology has benefited running over the years. The same title "Run for Life" and slogan were used across all products to clearly link them together. Additionally, using the same narrator for the documentary and radio trailer allowed audiences to get a sense of what to expect from the documentary itself. Images and audio clips from the documentary were also included in the radio trailer to intrigue audiences and potentially increase viewership. The products were meant to be informative while maintaining a consistent formal and professional tone.
Radio trailer script
According to a survey, the number of runners in the UK has reached 10 million people. The document includes quotes from runners about their running habits, ranging from daily 20 minute runs to weekly runs. It suggests that more accessible running events like park runs have contributed to the growth in running popularity, giving people opportunities to participate regardless of ability level. The radio trailer advertises upcoming running events like Race For Life and Run To The Future and notes that a related BBC program will air on Thursday at 8pm.
Documentary evaluation – question one
The documentary focuses on running and fitness, providing tips and statistics to audiences aged 16 and older. It uses a mix of narration, interviews, and observational footage to make the case that running has benefits. Interview subjects include a gym employee, a teacher, and a department head to discuss how they incorporate running into their lives. Cutaways of running apps, massages, and medals were included to illustrate points. Wide shots and mid shots were used during interviews to meet documentary conventions. An upbeat song played over opening credits to set a fun tone for the active sport of running.
Documentary evaluation – question four

A sense of movement through time, space, or psychology also strengthens the narrative. Effective sound and lighting can elicit emotional responses from audiences. However, the message may be biased based on what information is included or excluded through construction of reality and gatekeeping.
Codes and conventions of print ads
Print ads typically feature one main eye-catching image related to the subject, the BBC1 logo prominently displayed in the center above the title and brief description of the documentary.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
