MMS1402 Creating Digital Content (DISESTABLISHED FB 05/07) (14 Dec 2007, 4:20pm) [CDC ]

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

20/07/2003 MMS1402 Multimedia Tools 1 has existed as part of the SMS Bachelor of Multimedia, this update is to revise the entry for use as part of the Bachelor of Multimedia Systems. This is a core unit for first year students in the Bachelor of Multimedia Systems, it will develop the basic concepts of website development and standards. It will also introduce website design and graphic design software and its appropriate applications. This unit will also be service taught into the Faculty of Art and Designs Bachelor of Multimedia and Digital Arts at Caulfield. It will also be offered as an open FIT elective at Caulfield.

Response to FEC 5/03 - this unit has been renamed from MM Tools 1 to Creating Digital Content to take the focus away from software 'training' (for which the unit has been criticised) and concentrate more on broader issues. The aims and objectives of the unit have been modified to support this broader focus. MMS1402 has been offered at Caulfield as an open FIT elective for several years, the only change of offering in this update is the requirement to service teach into the new Art and Design degree. This requirement was part of the agreement between InfoTech and Art and Design related to the closure of the Bachelor of Multimedia (BMM).

Strategies of Assessment (29 Jul 2004, 2:00pm)

The final mark will be calculated using a weighting formula:

final grade = (R*A* E)/((R-1)*A+E)

where A = overall assignment percentage, E = examination percentage, R = 100/assignment weight

If a student achieves a grade of 0% for assignments the final grade will be:

Final grade = E / 2.5

If a student achieves a grade of 0% for the examination the final grade will be:

Final grade = A / 2.5
