Aims
Planning is the first student negotiated module in which independent learners develop the ability to take advantage of the flexible, student led approach, supported by guidance from their mentors and peers. The module is based on a work-based learning tradition and builds on initial student pitches, outlines and research. It requires learners to identify and consider relevant technical, creative, business or organisational contexts of their major or other relevant project within a wider
context of industry opportunities and constraints.
Planning engages learners to articulate the influences and developments that impact on ideas, projects and proposals as they move forward toward the production process, and the wider terms of reference and resources that become necessary to produce the planned output. Thus the module builds on outcomes of the preceding Research Methods module and lays the foundation for testing assumptions underlying the main project in the subsequent Prototype module.
