Acknowledgement of Country We respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous Elders, custodians, their descendants and kin of this land past and present. The Centre for Aboriginal Studies aspires to contribute to positive social change for Indigenous Australians through higher education and research.

Syllabus For at least twenty years, we have seen a trend towards 'convergence' in the media, as new social understandings and new business models emerge that break down the distinction between traditional media forms (print and broadcast news, films and games, and so on). We have also seen the development of social or participatory media, without rigid boundaries between consumers, creators and producers. The Internet has played a critical role in these processes, becoming the key frame of reference for discussions of the future of converging and participatory media. In particular, the World Wide Web enables the production, distribution, remixing and remediation of an extraordinary array of digital media content and the linking together of otherwise separate media forms. In this unit, you will investigate why and how media are transforming in the era of convergence and participation, and then put these insights into practice by creating web-based media content.

Introduction Welcome to Web Media! This upper level unit can be taken as part of the BA (Internet Communications), Mass Communications or as an elective through variety of degrees.

The unit’s three big themes – convergence, digitisation and participatory culture – are probably familiar to you from introductory first-year units (if not, don’t worry, you’ll catch up swiftly). If these do seem familiar, keep in mind we’re asking you to push much further in your understanding; we’re asking you to read, analyse and create web media at a higher level, so please make sure you’re keeping on top of the weekly readings and discussions.

Attendance at the weekly tutorials for campus-based students, or weekly participation in the online discussion boards for the online students, is expected in this unit. We provide high quality lectures and readings, but it’s in the discussions where your understanding will be refined and developed. Please participate!

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Present arguments that explore the cultural and social dynamics of converging and participatory media

2 Critically analyse how communications and media are encoded for the Internet

3 Create web content that practically explores emerging media and communications forms

4 Explore the new media affordances of web applications and services

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities Module 1: Digitisation & Convergence

The first module examines the ways that existing media forms and industries are changing in light of digitisation (all media being informatic in nature, as opposed to past analogue media forms) and convergence (media types being highly interchangeable and interoperable, in part because of the change in form, and in part due to surrounding cultural and technological issues). Topics 1.1 through to 1.4 each examine various media platforms or industries, looking at recent changes, current operations, and gauging as best is possible future trends.

l Topic 1.0: Introduction l Topic 1.1: Television & Film l Topic 1.2: Music l Topic 1.3: Games l Topic 1.4: Photography

Module 2: Web Media

Whereas the first module looked at changes in media platforms and industries that pre-date the web, the second module looks at more recent forms of media creation and creativity which have emerged within networked digital culture. These new media forms present new opportunities and evoke innovative forms of creativity, but also provoke new challenges both in terms of web culture and in light of the changing (but often resistant) media industries examined in module one.

l Topic 2.0: Creating Reflective Web Media l Topic 2.1: Remix // Mashup // Copyright l Topic 2.2: Transmedia, Fan-Made Content and Its Discontents l Topic 2.3: YouTube Creativity & Participatory Culture l Topic 2.4: Mobile Media & Apps l Topic 2.5: Spreadability

The full details of each week’s topic, including the readings and questions to consider while doing your readings, are on the unit’s Blackboard website. Please ensure you’ve read the core (and deeper if you wish) readings and considered the questions before the week’s tutorial or online discussion.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Assignment 1: The Essay Essay Question: Select one of the media platforms covered in topics 1.1 to 1.4 (ie television, film, music, games or photography) and analyse what impact digitisation and convergence have had on your chosen media platform.

Note: Although Topic 1.1: Television & Film provided material that discussed these two media forms together, you can choose to write about just one of them for your essay (which may help you to fit your argument into the word limit).

This essay is worth 30% of your mark for this unit. The essay should be 1500 words in length, including in-text references; however, your reference list is not included in this count. You have approximately 10% flexibility with the word limit, but being substantially under or over-length will result in a poorer mark.

Please keep in mind, you will need to develop your own analysis in this essay. Even if you agree completely with one article or book you’re using, you will need to present a larger and more balanced account than any single source can provide. You will be expected to have read and to utilise both core and deeper readings from the relevant topic. As this is a substantial research essay, you will also need to find appropriate additional material to further your analysis. Your essay should include a fully formed introduction and conclusion, should be written in paragraph form, should present a clear argument and should meaningfully engage with both core and deeper readings/viewings provided in the unit as well as including credible material from additional sources. Your essay should follow the APA referencing style.

Criteria for Assessment

Students will be assessed on how well their essays:

l Present a clear, coherent and concise analysis l Present arguments that explore the cultural and social dynamics of converging and participatory media l Engage critically and meaningfully with relevant core and deeper unit readings l Select and incorporate relevant additional material

2. Assignment 2: The Pitch

You are to create a detailed Pitch of 1500 words for your Reflective Web Media Creation. This assignment is worth 20% of your total mark for this unit. The aim of the Pitch for your Reflective Web Media Creation (RWMC) is to create a document which outlines what your RWMC will be about, how you intend to create it, when you plan to undertake each step of production and why this will be the best format to present your concept to a general audience. Your RWMC asks you to "create a short piece of web media which reflects on some element of web media that has been addressed during the unit, with at least some focus on the unit themes of digitisation and/or convergence", so your Pitch will be the blueprint that describes conceptually and practically how you will achieve that outcome. Your Pitch should be 1500 words in length. It should be presented as a single meaningful document, complete with references, but you can use headings or other methods to divide up specific sections. If appropriate you may include an appendix or a link to material you've already created or found that you feel is essential to your Pitch, but please use such media sparingly and ensure the document submitted via Blackboard is not more than 2 megabytes in size.

If you’ve not done so already, please read the assessment details for the RWMC (below) as you are expected you use these as the backbone for writing your Pitch. Given the vast range of possible formats this assignment can take, you should provide details relevant to the media platform and format you are choosing to utilise. However, there are four main areas that everyone should discuss:

[1] Rationale, Approach and Argument

Under this heading, you might discuss: What exactly will your RWMC be, and what is it about? What is the argument, narrative (story) or experience you are trying to convey? How will this be reflective of web media in general, and either or both of the unit themes of convergence and digitisation? Which readings and other sources from the unit are informing your RWMC production (and how are you using them)? How will you ensure that your RWMC is accessible, viewable or navigable by a generalist audience within 3 minutes?

[2] Media Format(s)

Under this heading, you might discuss: What media format or formats will your RWMC take? Why have you chosen this format and why is it the most appropriate one for the argument, narrative or experience you’re trying to convey? Given your RWMC has to be online and public, how will you utilise the affordances of the presentation platform? (For example, if you're using YouTube, don't just think about the video you're making, but also the various other tools, such as the description, tagging and so forth that the YouTube platform offers you.) What challenges or restrictions does your chosen media format or formats present, and how will you manage these challenges?

[3] Media Sources and Copyright

Under this heading, you might discuss: What elements of your RWMC will be originally created, and which elements will be borrowed and remixed from elsewhere? If you're incorporating existing media, under what conditions will it be utilised in your RWMC? How will you select any remixed media and under what copyright terms will it be located? If you're planning on using material under a Creative Commons license, for example, be specific about how these will be found, how you will cite them accurately and so forth. If you are planning on using Fair Dealing to utilise commercial media that is still under full copyright, how will you indicate this in your RWMC? How are you planning to indicate the copyright status of your RWMC?





[4] Production Process and Timeline:

Under this heading, you might discuss: What is the detailed day by day production plan for your RWMC? When will each task be completed in your production, and how will you incorporate proofing, testing or other processes to ensure your RWMC is as accurate as you can make it? When will your RWMC be completed and how will you allow for Pitch feedback from your tutor in your production timeline? Will you have any assistance at any stage of your RWMC from other people? It is possible to have other people assist you with tasks, but not conceptually. For example, if you decided to make a short video and asked someone else to assist you by operating the video camera so you could film yourself talking, that would be fine BUT they could not offer ANY conceptual or design input. If you are going to have any assistance beyond your own labour, you must outline how other people will be involved in your production as part of your Pitch.

NB: Tutors will try as hard as they can to return all Pitches within a fortnight so that their feedback can be incorporated into your RWMC. To ensure this is possible, please do not request an extension unless absolutely necessarily as it will extend the period before your work is returned.


You will be assessed on how well your assignment:

l Develops an outline for a clear and accessible argument, narrative or experience that is appropriate for online delivery to a generalist audience

l Plans to explore the specificities of web media as informed by readings, conversations and other unit material

l Demonstrates you have selected and plan to utilise the affordances of your chosen media types or platforms

l Demonstrates clear understanding of copyright and other relevant conventions for your chosen media format(s)

l Has a realistic and achievable plan and timeline to complete your RWMC l Follows conventions of referencing (APA), grammar and expression appropriate for academic

writing

3. Assignment 3: The Reflective Web Media Creation

The Reflective Web Media Creation is worth 50% of your overall mark. There are two components to this assignment:

[1] The RWMC Artifact – the piece of web media that you create

[2] RWMC Response Document – text document with three sections detailed below

NOTE: The RWMC Artifact MUST be presented to the class, either in your final tutorial (for internal students) or in the final week’s discussion board (for online students). In this week you will present your work to your classmates, receive feedback from them and offer feedback on your classmates’ work. You must present a completed RWMC Artifact (not something incomplete, or a rough version), but the presented version can be edited if you wish, prior to submission for marking, based on the feedback you receive from your peers after your presentation.

On the final due date, you need to submit both your RWMC Artifact and your RWMC Response document via Blackboard. (Your RWMC Artifact will be submitted as a link as it MUST be publicly visible online.)

The details of the two components of your overall RWMC assignment are:

[1] The RWMC Media Artifact





For the Reflective Web Media Creation (RWMC) assignment, you are asked to create a short piece of web media (your RWMC Artifact) which reflects on some aspect of web media that has been addressed during the unit, with at least some focus on the unit themes of digitisation and/or convergence.

Your RWMC can be in any media form you prefer except for text-only (ie you can create a short video, flash animation, stop motion animation, short interactive website, photo collage presented as a slideshow, infographic, or pretty much any other format except a traditional essay form); the point is to utilise the affordances of web media (ie use web media) to reflect on the changing nature of web media. Whatever format you choose, your RWMC Artifact must be accessible/viewable/navigable in 3 minutes or less, as is appropriate for your chosen media format.

In terms of audience, your RWMC Artifact must be accessible to a generalist audience; it should not be designed specifically for a specialist academic reader or viewer (if it helps, imagine the audience being someone else studying at university but not in a humanities degree). The creation of your RWMC Artifact is an opportunity to communicate something about web media to someone unfamiliar with this unit or the readings, although these resources should be used to inform your creation and referenced as appropriate.

While you should indicate all academic and other sources and so forth, you do not specifically have to follow APA style referencing if it is incompatible with your presentation format. (For example, if you created a short video, your credits would indicate your sources, but not necessarily presented in APA format as this would be clunky and not in keeping with the style of online video.)

Your RWMC Artifact must be presented in a publicly accessible form online. You do NOT have to include your full name on your RWMC if you do not wish to, but you must include enough identifying information to ensure your marker can clearly identify your work (eg a shortened name and the unit code – 'Debbie R, Web Media' – would suffice). As the RWMC is publicly online, you are responsible for ensuring it complies with copyright laws. If you include remixed media from elsewhere, these should be clearly indicated and you should respect whatever licenses they are under. If you argue that your RWMC is legal by way of Fair Dealing, you should clearly indicate this as part of your RWMC Artifact. You should include a clear statement about the copyright status of your RWMC as part of your assignment (placing this statement wherever is appropriate given your chosen media form).

[2] RWMC Response Document

Along with the RWMC Artifact itself, you must submit a RWMC Response document with a word limit of 1000 words (with +/-10% flexibility on that word count). The document will contain three sections:

• Fidelity to the Pitch (roughly 250 Words)

In this section, you should reflect on your production process in light of the pitch you submitted. How closely did you follow the pitch? How did you respond to your marker’s comments and suggestions for change? How, if at all, did you alter your RWMC Artifact after your classmates’ feedback in the final week?

• Your Spreadability Strategy (roughly 500 Words)

If you wanted to get as wide an audience as possible, how would you got about this? This section should refer directly to the readings in the last module of the unit. (NB: You can if you wish enact this strategy, but you don’t have to. You do have to have a strategy, even if you don’t use it.)

• Evaluation of One Peer RWMC (roughly 250 Words)





During the final week in the RWMC Showcase, you are asked to evaluate and offer feedback on one of your classmates’ RWMC artifacts. You should use the ‘Criteria for Assessment’ below as a guide to writing this feedback. (You are doing this both to give them feedback, but also to think about the process of receiving feedback overall.)

Submission

You must submit a coversheet which provides the usual information and the URL of (link to) your RWMC Artifact online. Your RWMC Response Document should follow on from this coversheet in the same file to be submitted through Turnitin in Blackboard.

The RWMC Artifact and RWMC Response Document should be submitted together. Failure to submit either element means your work will not be marked.


Students will be assessed on how well their Reflective Web Media Creation:

l Utilises the affordances of your chosen media format l Reflects on specificities of web media in terms of convergence and digitisation as informed by the

material engaged with during the unit l Presents an argument, narrative or experience that is clear, accessible and engaging for a generalist

audience l Follows your Pitch as a blueprint while also incorporating any appropriate tutor feedback l Respects appropriate conventions for the media format you’re using, including indicating sources,

copyright laws, and so forth

Pass requirements

There are two requirements to achieve a ‘pass’ grade in the unit:

1. An overall mark of 50% across the different assessments in the unit, and

2. All assessments must be attempted and submitted.

Failure to attempt and submit an assessment will result in a ‘Fail‐incomplete’ grade for the unit irrespective of the mark achieved. Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(e.g. a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each study period.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.
