The aim of the unit is to provide students with a thorough grounding in evolving media experiences. The unit frames the latest debates and trends in media consumption and creative production in relation to past, current and future media platforms and environments. Students will explore to emergent issues surrounding a more fluid relationship between hitherto perceived distinct media platforms blending into a one continuous and holistic experience within a complex and diverse media environment. By the end of semester students will acquire valuable conceptual frameworks for thinking critically and reflectively about media experiences, as well as feel inspired and capable of taking an active role in their current and potential (professional and personal) role within media and technological innovative uses, productions and developments.

Evaluation:

Active participation in the sessions, individual presentation of selected technology, and the execution of a practical team project, are required in order to successfully pass the unit. The project-based evaluation will ask the students to demonstrate their creative, critical and reflective thinking that is informed by a limited empricial research, academic literature as well as the latest media innovations. The practical projects will be highly individual, formed around students’ own interests and career aspirations. The students will develop either audio (e.g. radio podcast), audiovisual (e.g. online video) or visual presentation (e.g. infographic) of their innovative problem-solving idea informed by the latest and future technological innovations, as well as the secondary and primary research.  The unit is designed specifically for self-depended and curious students who are keen to experiment and dive into learning by play and guided self-learning.

• Cross-platform media;
• Transmedia narratives;
• Convergence;
• Life in media and media life;
• Creativity, participation and innovation;
• Remediation;
• Immediacy and hypermediacy;
• Future learning in/with/through media
• Fourth industrial revolution
• Internet of Things
• Biotechnology
