This is an individual project. Introductory workshops will establish the scope of the project, discuss examples of the way the Web is being used by broadcasters and provide targeted skills training to enable you to assemble a simple set of web pages. Approximately half of the module you will spend research possible approaches and analysing the specific requirements to enable you to design your project brief. In the second half of the module you will put the project design brief into practice, seeking feedback on the effectiveness of your design as part of the process.

Today's broadcasters expect programme proposals to include some form of Web presence, through which audiences can interact with the content in some way. This project-based module invites you to 're-purpose' for the Web a programme / project concept that you have developed and researched previously for radio or television. Here you will study examples of how these kinds of websites are constructed, investigate what software tools you will need to create a simple set of webpages and, with access to introductory skills training, experiment with suitable ways to organise and present your content.
