Course description

Participatory Media Production is a collaborative approach to the production of media (audio, video, still images, text) that emphasizes working with a group or community in creating their media for learning, making themselves heard, and enabling positive change and transformation.

In this course, students will gain a foundation for understanding participatory media theory, facilitating participatory production processes, and creating and evaluating participatory media products relating to a complex social issue set by the course convenors. Course assessment will culminate in a live and internet based broadcast with accompanying online support materials that showcase the participatory media production principles and practices covered in the course.
