Description: Professional Experience A is a flexible ‘capstone’ course which provides students studying Fine Art, Media Art or Design with an opportunity to work in the creative industries relevant to their studies and apply their academic knowledge in the workplace. Students are working at varying times in and out of the semester, and are often off site – making the management of key tasks that lead to placements a time consuming task.
Ontask is being used within this course to guide remote students working on individual timelines on the completion of key tasks related to obtaining and managing their industry placements, monitor and report on student progress, guide students to key supporting resources based upon their own needs and placement context, managing industry placement opportunities and advising students about appropriate industry placement opportunities based upon their individual skill sets.
