Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
This module explores the contexts and features of several religious traditions (e.g. Buddhist, Hindu, Japanese, etc.). Specific attention is paid to representations of specific traditions, including colonial and contemporary conceptions in images (e.g. photography, film and other digital forms). The module uses digital representations as a methodology of study, providing students with the foundation for understanding digital media use for studying religions.

Digital artefact: the student can create a short film, audio recording or photographic essay (or other digital artefact by negotiation) on a focussed subject related to the module content. This can be documentary-style or creative and be done in pairs or small groups.
Short report: this would normally consist of a reflection on the process of making the digital artefact, including technical learning, and research on the topic of the digital artefact. Each student is expected to produce their own report even if they produced the digital artefact with others.
It is recommended that the assessment deadlines be spaced apart.
Integrated Assessment: students create a PowerPoint presentation on a theme agreed by the programme team relevant to the areas of philosophy, ethics and religion.
