Third year Women’s and Gender Studies students engage in Multimedia Training
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
Prof Sisa Ngabaza (Department of Women’s & Gender Studies) reached out to CIECT to provide multimedia training to third year students enrolled for WGS 322/311 (Gender and Development).
Students need to be equipped with skills in order to submit multimedia assessments
As part of their CAM mark, students are expected to make use of multimedia productions to respond to issues raised as well as topics covered in their course. The CIECT team collaborated with the department to ensure that students were trained on how to use various digital tools in order to submit multimedia productions, contributing to their CAM and final assessment. An online training workshop was implemented to accommodate the large class and circumvent the potential of load shedding on campus.
Multimedia Training Workshop: Optimising media content
The workshop covered the technical aspects of optimising media content for online delivery as well as multimedia production processes:
§ Optimisation / Compression of media content (Images, Sound and Video)
§ Audio Editing
§ Video Editing
Moreover, as CIECT reiterates, lecturers should be cognisant of the need for student training, especially when making use of multimedia for assessment purposes. This kind of assignment also presents the lecturer with multimodal evidence of the student's learning.
Monthly Scheduled OR Group Training Sessions
The CIECT team can offer video production training, fully-online and face-to-face.
Look out for our scheduled monthly training and attend the next multimedia training workshop.
You can contact the following CIECT staff members to book one-on-one; or group training sessions.
