The Post Industrial Media project is a small collaborative project undertaken by a group of media practitioner-teachers within the RMIT Bachelor of Communication media program. This project received funding from the School of Media & Communication Teaching and Learning Fund (2007).
The PIM project specifically deals with media education in the tertiary sector. Post Industrial Media is a term we have adopted to refer to the changes in media production, use, consumption, distribution and design that are the consequence of distributed networks, digitisation, and 'soft' social systems - our Manifesto for a Networked Pedagogy outlines how we believe these changes impact on pedagogy.
The project describes teaching and learning experiments undertaken within the RMIT media program to develop appropriate curriculum content and methods for teaching graduates who intend to enter the post industrial media landscape. We term this 'media literacy 2.0'.
Media literacy 2.0 is how we describe the set of complementary literacies that we teach and rely upon in the media curriculum; media literacy, 'network literacy', social literacies & literacies of learning. These imply a move from students merely being content consumers to active knowledge producers across a variety of media platforms and disciplines, and to them acting as peers within contemporary networked media and knowledge ecologies.
The wiki can best be navigated by accessing the key 'entry points'. Some key 'points' include the general introduction, media literacy 2.0, the curriculum map, and the overviews of practice, theory and teaching. The page also outlines the project's activities & events and proposed conference & journal papers.
A description of this wiki is available, as well as a brief outline of the key activities or events undertaken by the Post Industrial Media group.
This wiki is an outcome and local extension of the Digital Learning Communities project funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council.
