Creative iMedia
Why study Creative iMedia?
Interactive Media products such as websites, apps and interactive kiosks are all a part of our everyday lives. Acquiring knowledge in the planning and creating of such products is part of an admirable skill set for an educated person in the 21st century.
How will I study Creative iMedia?
Pupils study Creative iMedia through a holistic approach by completing projects that will result in creative interactive media products for a client. The curriculum teaches pupils to use team working, independent learning and problem-solving skills to complete the projects. Pupils will learn the features, techniques and processes needed to create a successful media product that can be sold to a client. As a result, our pupils will become responsible, competent, confident, and creative users of information and communication technology, with the skills to solve problems, design, plan and create an interactive media product that will meet the requirements of a client’s brief. They will learn how to apply the academic principles they learn in the classroom to real-world scenarios in an exciting and engaging way.
