E-Submission for
visually based courses
Design is a visual based subject of multiple formats in high
volume in both physical and digital media that delivers challenges to both
staff and students managing the work. New students do not possess the required
skills set and organisational qualities needed to produce, convert, manage, and
publish their work digitally to degree and professional standards. This causes
difficulties for students displaying and sharing their work to external
audiences such as employers and clients. Also staff have difficulty trying to
download, open, assess, and manage often hundreds of files per module from
Blackboard. Students have been digital for many years but why do we still
struggle to capture their work? It is this the project sets out to challenge.
The project has been exploring the hypothesis that ‘delivering the ability to students of generating, processing and managing their digital work can benefit both staff and students in multiple ways’
Over the past two years the project has been developing a system that guides the students to produce well managed digital data and has begun to capture the systems success. The project looks to expand the pilot further to other courses and schools within the University. It then hopes to generate more results and also gauge student’s opinion of the process.
