Developing Student Autonomy through the Production of a Public History Resource

Overview

This project will develop, implement and support an innovative piece of assessment in which level six undergraduate students autonomously produce a public history resource. The assessment will take place as part of a new history module entitled, 'Northern Soul: Constructing Regional Identities in the North of England, 1850-1980,' and will involve staff from the History group and LTI. Students and tutor will work in partnership to discuss the nature of this resource, which could be, for example, a mini-exhibition, short film, website or booklet. The students will then have the opportunity to explore and receive training in different technologies, as appropriate to their group projects, which will help them in developing their digital fluency.
