> Subject: Media Studies Seminar Project
>
> What is happening in Media Studies seminars?
>
> ADC-LTSN has earmarked £5000 to fund a project investigating the use of
> seminars within UK undergraduate media and communication courses.
>
> The core aim of this project overall is to discover how the size of
> seminar groups has affected the forms of learning and teaching that take
> place in them. In addition the project has four further aims:
> 1. To map the incidence of the seminar within learning and teaching in
> HE Media and Communication Studies at the start of the 21st century in the
> UK
> 2. To analyse the use of the seminar in terms of:
> (a) the size of seminar groups
> (b) frequency of seminars
> (c) percentage of student class contact time accounted for by seminars
> (d) other methods of learning and teaching that are used in conjunction
> with seminars
> 3. To record the variety of learning and teaching practices found in
> large group seminars
> 4. To investigate both students' and teachers' experiences and views on
> the usefulness of the seminar
>
> This project has been designed to be commissioned out to an interested
> research team.
