Learning Resources
Required Resources
Due to the individual skill acquisition required, and the technical nature of the project material in this course, resources will be provided weekly for students. These resources will be in the form of current immersive design research, patents, applied techniques, and websites. Students are not only encouraged to access all resources provided, but also to foster an investigative research approach to obtaining their own resources as needs arise.Recommended Resources
Due to the quickly evolving nature of immersive technologies, students will be provided with resources and readings over the duration of the course. Students are also encouraged to foster an investigative research approach towards resource acquisition depending on assignment focus.Online Learning
This course makes extensive use of MyUni and external websites. All assignments are submitted via online methods. Due to the size of data required for immersive media development, it is also strongly encouraged that students have access to large personal storage devices. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Lectures for this course are recorded and then uploaded into the university’s Echo 360 system. Tutorials and/or workshops are held in either a dedicated space or within the Napier building VR lab.

Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
*Please note: this is only an estimate of the minimum expected workload for each assessment piece. As much of the assessment structure requires technical understanding, individual students may need to spend more time on unfamiliar tasks.Assessment Task (relevant learning outcomes) Task Type Weighting Online Quizzes and Group Activities
2, 3Summative; Individual; Written 15% Written Assignment
1, 2, 3, 5Summative; Individual; Written 35% Design Brief
1, 2, 3, 4, 5Summative; Individual; Written; Graphical 50% Assessment Detail
Online Quizzes and Group Activities: 15% The quizzes will represent summative understanding of the core concepts and terminology presented in lectures and tutorial sessions. Online group activities will consist of design paradigm information reflection. (1500 words equiv.)
Written Assignment: 35% The written assignment will be submitted through MyUni and will be a reflective written piece oriented around the student's own experience with different forms of immersive technology, various VR, MR and AR experiences, and design paradigm implementation techniques. (3500 words)
Design Brief: 50% The design brief demonstrates student knowledge acquisition in relation to design thinking for immersive technology development. Students will submit an established design brief containing all aspects of project design in this space. (4000 words)Submission

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
