Induction

This is one of the first exercises we do in the first week of the PG Dip Broadcast Journalism. The students are shown how to use their recording equipment. They are then asked to break into pairs and interview each other about what they have done during the summer.

A case study of the Supporting Student Transitions commonplace website project undertaken at CLTAD this year (2010-11). The project has focussed on working with current UAL students to create a user generated website for prospective and incoming students to find out what university and London is like. The site holds talking heads videos, creative resources, tips and friendly advice from those who have been through the process.
commonplace launched on 15th July 2011.
commonplace fresher's events will be taking place on Weds 28th and 29th September

Learning and Teaching day (19/1/11) powerpoint prepared for the workshop on ISHE, the first year and student Transitions with Siobhan Clay and Christine Bowmaker.
The powerpoint details the background to ISHE, the Induction Support website, In-studio support, integrated strategies and the Student Transitions Project.

This is a mini induction project called ‘ Find and Seek’ which aims to get new stage 1 students talking to each other, finding their bearings by investigating inside and outside CSM and learning how to present creatively to a large audience of around 80 students. At the end of the project (which runs for 4 days) the team ‘finds’ are posted on blackboard to share, becoming a resource they can refer back to and use throughout the year.
