Task 1.1 ‘Meet my blog’ – Individual oral presentation on development of folio (10%)

Due Week 4 in class

A digital documentation and reflections folio will be compiled and presented in three stages across the semester. The folio will catalogue and reflect upon your work in progress, the substance and evolution of what you are creating in your studio lab, your contribution to your lab’s project, and the outcome/s for you creatively, critically and professionally.

This documentation portfolio is a ‘living document’, taking advantage of digital affordances including linking to other sites (such as those of your fellow students) and embedding media (e.g. photos, videos) where relevant. It should include reflections on individual contributions and progress of the studio as well as elements such as working documents or drafts, multiple images of the work in progress, extracts of work in progress, edited copy, screen grabs, website pages/screengrabs, interviews, email correspondence, notes to classes, schedules, summary documents, design ideas etc.

The aim of the folio is to demonstrate how the lab’s project and what you are making collaboratively has developed, and to provide a space for sharing your ‘thinking out loud’ about what you are learning and how.

It will be presented for assessment in a staged manner across the semester at three points, the exact timing and form of which will be determined by the individual studios.

Stage 1 of Task 1 is:

• ‘Meet my blog’: oral presentation presented by individuals on the development of the document folios (Friday week 4, 11 August, submission in person in class) – 10%
