Campus session 19/10/11

Professional Artefact and my thoughts.

Evidence of inquiry that may include various forms of media and text. The evidence may show the process/experience, the conclusion or both.

The first piece of advice that resonated for me was, the (PA)-Professional Artefact should work in conjunction with the inquiry. The PA should be clear, directly relating to inquiry. Students were made aware that when creating their PA; tendencies to wonder into a new subject area outside of inquiry should be avoided.

The PA provides students with an opportunity to express their work in a creative and personalised way. It allows students to have more control over the format of work they produce. Students were advised that the PA should not be dull and specifically target their professional audience.

I am still musing on a few ideas of how to present my PA. I thought it was beneficial listening to other students at the campus session expressing their ideas on how they intended to present their PA. My task will be, how to best display the various delegation strategies from three arts managers and how they effect labour productivity on their subordinates.

I plan to create a map or timeline demonstrating the process and the results of what I have found out in my inquiry. I have also thought about displaying this data as slides using power point. I think this would be visually stimulating for the professional audience I am targeting.
