What is this about?
A picture says a thousand words but a video tells a story. The display will showcase the best video projects developed by year 3 students (Management and Business) as part of assessed assignments to critically evaluate the impact of technology on modern businesses. The videos are 2 to 5 minutes long and were part of an experimental assignment piloted in 2012 in the Contemporary Issues in Business unit at the University of Sheffield, International Faculty City College. The display will also show a critical reflection on the key challenges; barriers and lessons learned derived from this type of technology and creatively led assignments. The display will tackle two key aspects of the conference, enabling students to develop their own digital literacy skills in preparation for future employment and promoting self-evaluation and self-led learning.
How will colleagues benefit?
Colleagues will benefit by being exposed to an innovative assignment that engages students by allowing the expression of both criticality and creativity through the use of technology. Colleagues will also benefit from the key challenges; barriers and lessons learned derived from this type of technology and creatively led assignments. These can support colleagues who wish to pilot or implement a similar assignment so they can build on the lessons learned and improve the approach. The display complements the 20 minute session run by Ana Cruz in Session 1 and will be a platform to showcase the students’ work.
