Minutes from the FdA Creative Sound Design and FdA Broadcast Post Production Course
Committee held on Wednesday 13 February 2008 at 12.00 in the Boardroom.
Approved: The minutes of the last meeting held on 17 October 2007 were
approved by the Committee (SDPPCC08/02/02).
Noted: Short courses now use the Lime Lab on Fridays and Business Support
will be notified on occasions when it is not required.
Noted: Feedback from the Course Committee to the ELAG on Moodle issues
will be considered at its next meeting on 27 February. It was hoped
that an appointment would be made soon to replace the departing VLE
Development Officer.
b) The limited capacity of the Mac room was a problem for some
students with project work. Convergance might be available,
although the number of machines waiting to be fixed meant that
Convergance was a partial solution at best.
Agreed: The CSD Subject Leader would check on arrangements for access to
Convergance.
Received: Updated External Examiner Action Plans for FdA Creative Sound
Design and FdA Broadcast Post Production
Noted: 1) The need for regular reminders about referencing written work, in
addition to scheduled lectures, was considered. Student
representatives couldn’t recall having a session on the Harvard
system yet, but it had been covered in relation to their Contextual
studies project. The emphasis on proper referencing needed to be
maintained so that students understood the principle on which it
was based as well as the procedure.
Noted: The new video server was currently being installed. It would be a major
improvement for post production and Rave on Air in particular. The
Film Master grading system had also been acquired and would be
installed this term. It was very high-specification equipment found in
the world’s best post production houses.
Noted: The National Student Survey commenced on 7th January and is due to
finish at the end of April 2008. The survey is for final year
undergraduates and they can receive a £5 print credit when completing
the survey online and taking the proof of completion to Finance.
Students are encouraged to complete this survey.
Agreed: The Media Services Officer would ask if LRC could prepare a piece on
for Moodle on Harvard Referencing.
