This was a end of course change of Tutor as my course tutor was suddenly unable to give feedback or a tutorial for assignments 3 (I submitted 18.8.24) and assignment 5 (I submitted 28.10.24). This delayed me by a few weeks. The OCA assigned me a new Tutor who after familiarisating themselves with my work gave a video feedback tutorial for this assignment.

It was useful to have a fresh pair of eyes on my work. He was complimentary about and commented that the project is very interesting. Advice given was all around presenting my work in assignment 5 and the assessment shorter evaluation, to evidence my learning and dissemination of the work.

Video feedback session: 9.11.24

My learning points:

Assignment 5:

• Show don’t tell make it clearer for assessors
• What I’ve learnt not what I did
• Begin with the actual project rather than the context – reverse engineer
• Output book engagement with professional practice A3 & research
• Reduce BOW material
• Minimise context- This should emerge from subject and rendering (Killip, 2001) Barrett (2010) subject- medium-form-context
• maximise how I disseminated the work
• Outcomes: integrate my book making padlet and impact on audience
• Edit to 2000 words
• Use some bullet points
• Use direct vimeo links (rate Vimeo video public so can be accessed), rather than directing to my blog, where possible
• Use extra reading on writing & presenting
• PEEL: Point (clear opening sentence) Evidence (examples), Explain (how evidence supports point) Link (connect to main argument/ how I got my work out there

Pre-assessment advice

Reflective evaluation

• Write as if a cold reader. Lead them through the learning outcomes.
• Start with the final product and work back.  Barrett (2010) advice- let the work lead
• Concentrate on how I’ve disseminated the project, this will confirm I’ve met learning outcomes.
• How moving through supported me to put the work out there
• Output: book – engagement with professional practice A3 & research – Use book dummy book is an output as well as, at beginning
• Outcomes: my original intention is evidenced as an outcome in the artist talks – Use my feedback from artist talks as an outcome
• Use A3 appendices as outputs in padlet

Make a critical reflective padlet (CRS) to bring everything together

• Comments/bullet points on main revisions only of documents on my CRS padlet. Use last paragraph summaries from A3/5 essays
• Learning objectives – 2/3 bullets per LO and don’t describe what I did – say what I found/learnt
• Grist not detail summarise links for assessor to check, if needed for evidence
• Use direct vimeo links
• Blog is just a repository of information
