Hello Christine
really interesting and I'd be interested in your collated responses please.
This year for the first time there is a choice of media/formats for one of our summative assignments, they can stick with a 1500 word essay - or another written format (eg. report, annotated bibliography....) or can choose from a short list of interactive media.
Our approach is to suggest a time limit - their assignment should take no more than 20 minutes to read/listen/watch, and they will submit a document via turnitin with the URL / link to their work, with their references/bibliography.
Up to now we've used a very good mix of media and formats for the formatives but the summatives were 3 essays (across the programme) and a portfolio - we felt it was about time we extended this into the summatives too.
Will be happy to report back after submission and marking - April-May
Sally
