Interactive Media Individual Project - TFT00090H
Module summary
This module allows you to undertake a substantial piece of
self-directed scholarly work as an individual initiative. You can
choose to work on a
project to either: design and develop an
interactive media artefact, or use critical and quantitative or
qualitative analysis to explore a research question,
both with an
accompanying report, or write a dissertation. The module will enable
you to develop your skills in planning and writing scholarly
reports,
including reflective analysis on the achievements of the
project. It will draw together the knowledge and skills developed in
the preceding years of the
programme by allowing you to focus on
a topic (whether technical, theoretical or thematic) of their own
choice. You are supported in this
module through group and
individual supervision meetings with academic staff.
