Teaching methods

In the course, you will learn versatile skills in content production and publishing of audio work (Radio and Podcast). The key learning method is participating in media productions in different professional roles.
Auditory content production forms a whole, where the competence goals are:
1. Knowing how to plan, implement and publish different types of auditory media content
2. Managing one's own and project scheduling and working in a group
3. Performing and using voice.
The starting point is customer orientation and cooperation with the environment. Students form production groups where it is possible to profile their own competence and develop previously learned skills, producing media material mainly for the needs of audio radio narration.
Competence is developed e.g. designing and scripting content, producing and editing digital audio.
Production processes and teamwork in the media industry are central themes. Working in a work group and working culture are learned e.g. in joint planning and meetings and feedback discussions.
