Academic year(s): 2016-2017
SCOTCAT credits : 30
ECTS credits : 15
Level : SCQF level 10
Semester: Both
Planned timetable:
With the consent of the module coordinator and of the Chair of the Degree Committee, candidates may submit a project in the form of a radio programme, video documentary, website or other appropriate medium. RECORDING THE PAST is designed to encourage the development of skills of historical analysis through concentrated study on a chosen topic and, in addition, the development of new skills of presentation through multimedia. Group projects are welcome, their volume being dependent on the numbers involved. Regardless of the medium used, the project outcome is assessed on the quality of the research and analysis (including oral interviews and photographic, film or sound sources) and on the technical quality of the final outcome. The project may build on work already done in another module, but it must break new ground and use substantially new research. While some training in multimedia techniques will be offered, the student should already possess some experience in the medium in which he/she chooses to present the project.
