Working with learners

In these activities, you will use the project resources, tools and skills from the face-to-face session with a group of learners and then report back on this in the course forum.

Activity 4 Working with learners on multimedia development

Timing: A minimum of 2 hours over 3 weeks during weeks 2–5 of the course

The objective of this course activity is to work with a group of learners on a multimedia product development activity that makes use of the resources, project ideas and skills gained from the face-to-face event.

During Workshop 4 of the face-to-face session, you will have worked with employers and other participants to generate ideas for projects that can be shared with learners. You will have also seen examples of the multimedia resources created by e-skills UK, which give you two project ideas for web development with associated multimedia products for integration. You may also have picked up skills and techniques in multimedia development that you would like to share with learners.

You need to work with learners using something that emerged from the face-to-face event. This may be the project idea from which you can create a client brief and use it to start to create a project plan for a multimedia product with learners.

You may wish to work with a group on specific skills, such as video creation and editing, or you may wish to share information about the industry developers who contributed to the face-to-face session and what their roles are in real life multimedia development for clients.

Activity 5 Reporting back

Timing: 1 hour online week during the sixth and final week of the course

The objective of this course activity is to share your experiences of working with learners on multimedia development activities with other course participants and your facilitator.When you have worked with your group of learners, go back to the forum and respond to the ‘Reporting back’ discussion thread created by your facilitator. Post a message to the other participants reflecting on your work with learners and including your thoughts on using the materials, ideas and skills gained from the face-to-face session, and subsequently.
