Title:

"Shift" is turning two: A caregiver's report

Location:

Owheo G34 - 1:00 pm, Friday 29th March

Abstract:

The Diploma for Graduates endorsed in ICT, marketed as the "Shift" programme, is coming into its 3rd year and has not reached maturity yet.

Firstly student numbers are growing (5, 15, around 20), secondly, adjustments around structure, content, assessments are ongoing, and thirdly discussions on how to support the students in this rather unique programme should continue.

This seminar will provide an overview of the programme structure, study options and student cohort. In particular, I will focus on three components of the programme: ICT Fundamentals, Studio Projects and Industry Placement by introducing the nature of those components, assessments, challenges & student feedback. The audience is invited to share ideas, experiences and recommendations which will help the programme to grow and mature.
