Course Description:
This is a course designed to give you a fundamental idea of the tools and techniques of the visual, sound and
presentation industry. Technology will constantly change, but as long as you understand its nature, purpose and place
you will be able to accept the challenges and begin to develop the exciting opportunities and rewards it can present to
you.

Assessment and Evaluation: Formative assessments are used to improve student learning by providing varied opportunities to
demonstrate an understanding of course expectations in preparation for summative evaluations. Summative evaluations
test groups of key expectations. Failure to complete a summative evaluation may result in the expectations of the course
not being met and the credit not being granted.
Assessments will have specific due dates. If a due date is not met, a deduction of up to 10% may be taken from the
assessment mark. Extensions, requested prior to the due date, will be considered based on circumstances.

EXPECTATIONS
Each Technical class emphasizes the importance of good work habits.
It is important that each student learns to take responsibility for their
own actions. Students are expected to be on time, courteous, be able
to follow directions and respect others. The student is to complete all
assignments and to contribute in class. It is the student’s responsibility
to make every effort to arrange appointments in non-school hours to
ensure that all work is made up when absent.
Student work is expected to contain positive images of people
regardless of age, physical appearance, socioeconomic status,
disability, race, or gender. Any stereotypes (regarding age, physical
appearance, socioeconomic status, disability, race, or gender), acts of
violence, sexually-oriented themes, or use of profanity is unacceptable
in classroom work or student behaviour.
SAFETY
Safe work habits are extremely important in every work area. Basic
safety rules apply in all of the Technological Studies Labs, Shops and
Classrooms. Each area may have some unique safety rules, and it is
the student’s responsibility to learn the safe operating procedures for
all of the equipment before using it. Failure to follow the safety rules
can result in the student being removed from the course with loss of
credit.
EVALUATION
Communications Technology activities are project driven and
produce tangible materials. Projects fuel the need for students
to acquire specific skills and attain a deeper understanding of
communications technology. The skills and knowledge reflect the
expectations set by the curriculum.
Ministry Expectations
The final term grade will be based on all of the Unit Activities
through out the semester and the Final Evaluation will include
a final presentation and theoretical test at the end of the course,
incorporating many of the technologies, procedures, theories and
techniques studied. The following criteria will be used in evaluation:
A1. Demonstrate an understanding of the core concepts, techniques, and skills required to produce a range of communications
media products or services;
A2. Demonstrate an understanding of technical terminology,
basic scientific concepts, and mathematical concepts used in communications technology and apply them to the creation of media
products;
A3. Demonstrate an understanding of and apply the interpersonal and communication skills necessary to work effectively in a
team setting.
B1. Apply project management techniques to the planning and
development of communications media products;
B2. Apply a design process or other problem-solving processes
to meet a range of challenges in communications technology;
B3. Create products or productions that demonstrate compe-

Since “Process” is as important as “Product” incomplete work
should still be handed in on the due date and will be assessed
using the same Rubrics. The work should then be promptly
finished and handed in again to be re-evaluated.
It may not be possible to work on parts of your
projects at home. Some projects are a group effort. It is,
therefore, very important that you attend every day. Limited

Course Description: The course emphasizes the development of knowledge and skills required for the production of
media art. Students will develop an appreciation of the history and theory associated with the design process.
Students will maintain a portfolio of their media artwork.
Big Ideas (overall learning outcomes for the course):
• Design is a purposeful act of creativity with an intended goal or outcome. It requires intent and an understanding of visual design
concepts and techniques.
• The audience plays an important role in the design process. An understanding of the targeted demographic must be recognized and
understood.
• Media knowledge and competence is required in making constructive design choices.
• Media experimentation leads to more effectively solving design challenges.
