This assessment is worth 100% of your grade for this module.
You will prepare a digital portfolio, using either Word or Powerpoint, exploring an area for potential change in one of the following contexts (each of these can be online or physical):
1.
Museums, galleries or libraries.
2.
King’s and/or Higher Education more generally, or a clinical space.
3.
A public campaign, such as an advertising or promotional campaign, or public health campaign.
Your portfolio must have the following components (NB the word counts that follow are the maximum):
1.
Introduction (250 words): introduce the area and context you have identified.
2.
Describe the current situation in this context, doing so with reference to what you have learnt in the module (750 words). You may find it helpful to think about the following questions:
a.
What are the models, ideas, concepts and frameworks that you have used to identify this area for potential change?
b.
What are the positive and negative effects of the situation as it stands?
c.
Who interacts with or in this context, and in what way?
d.
What power structures are at play?
3.
Present your proposal for change in this area (750 words). You may find it helpful to think about the following:
a.
What will you change, and why?
b.
How might this change happen? How would the process begin, and what exactly would change?
c.
What are the possible positive and negative effects of this change?
d.
Who will be affected, and in what ways?
e.
What potential obstacles do you envisage?
4.
Conclusion (250 words): summarise your work and reflect on the process.
In your portfolio you must include three audio/visual artefacts that illustrate your work. These can take the form of a screenshot (including a screenshot of text, such as a museum sign or a press release), an original photograph or video, images from the internet (make sure to include links and attributions, as appropriate), or an audio recording. These artefacts must serve to illustrate your points and cannot be simply decorative.Your summative assessment for this module is a digital portfolio. You can use either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Powerpoint to design and submit your assessment. Please think carefully about which is most appropriate for your own work.
Word document: Suitable for a primarily text-based submission (similar to a traditional essay).
PowerPoint: Allows for more visual and digital elements to support your text (e.g., videos of you speaking, images illustrating your issue, photos from your experiential learning).
2.
As with any piece of academic work, you are expected to refer to secondary sources and to reference them correctly. These sources can be from the module Reading List and/or your own research. You may use any recognised citation system.
3.
You must upload a cover sheet as part of your portfolio submission. Please find the cover sheet and guidance here: assessment guidance page.
4.
Submissions are anonymous: please do not put your name anywhere in your submission.
5.
Remember, this module welcomes students from all disciplines. Your work will be assessed on your ability to compose a coherent and compelling reflection on how you have developed your cultural competency within your discipline and profession. While there are general guidelines to follow, exceptional work can take different forms. If you have any questions about your summative assignment, please book an online meeting with your workshop facilitator during their office hours.
