What can the students do for you? - They can 'Deliver' Outcomes! Deliverables might include marketing materials, logo designs, promotional videos, research reports, business reports, engineering prototypes, architectural designs, music compositions, Fine Art, choreography or product prototypes. A variety of output types can be selected from a predefined menu when defining your project.
Where does this happen? Pebble Projects take place in the classroom.
The lecturer and students will meet you online via Microsoft Teams for your input, direction and important feedback on work produced during critiques. The work produced by the students can also be used for grading purposes (integrated into student assignments). Please note - It is very important to meet with the Lecturer to discuss realistic project outcomes, project scale and timescale!
​
Project Scale: Projects can vary in size, from small, focused tasks like designing a single logo, to larger-scale initiatives such as developing an entire marketing campaign or producing multiple promotional videos.
​
Timescale: While businesses may need projects completed quickly (e.g., in days or weeks), academic projects often align with course timelines, usually concluding by the end of the term. Quick turnarounds for micro projects (typically 3 weeks) are also possible throughout the semester, but long-term planning is recommended for larger projects.
​
Student Skills: The types of students involved will depend on the course focus, ranging from undergraduate to advanced students. Their skills will vary, from beginner to advanced - Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
