Week One

My task for this module is to produce an academic paper (2000 Words) based on one of the following subjects;

• Mobile phones and their effect on society
• Video games and violence
• The effect of CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) on the film and animation industry

The academic paper must reflect the research methodology, which will be explained to me in my lectures.

I must also produce a presentation (500 Words) based on one of the following areas;

• A discussion of three iconic CD/LP covers
• A discussion about three important product designs that have made a significant impact on society
• A discussion about three important games, which have influenced gaming design.

I must develop and maintain a reflective learning log/blog to be used as the basis of tutorial work and formative assessment. This will also provide evidence to provide the beginning of a Personal Development Planning Portfolio that will be built upon by me.

I’m going to start this blog with a picture of my learning line; this shows us ways of deepening our understanding of our learning processes and to reflect back on our achievements to date. I am asked to reflect back on my learning experiences. What have been my key achievements and experiences? When was I happiest and what aspects have I enjoyed the most? What have been the negative events? Most importantly, how have these experiences helped me develop? What have I learned about my own capacity to learn? Print this post
