This project saw the SLTI team working alongside the teaching team from the BA(Hons) Fashion Photography course to enhance all the myCourse units across all 3 levels of the course so that all the units are of a consistent media-rich high quality standard.

Further the work included enhancement to learning outcome definitions in a CV friendly style language so that the students can re-use those CV style outcomes in building their employability profiles.

The project will be completed by August 2016 in time for the 2016-17 academic year.
