Description
This presentation examines a case study of co-developing and co-delivering a Level 9 Certificate in Live Studio Broadcasting in partnership with industry leaders Virgin Media and RTÉ. It explores the collaborative relationship between a Higher Education Institution (HEI) and the broadcast industry, focusing on the challenges and opportunities that arise when bridging the gap between academic learning and practical, real-world skills. The presentation reflects on pedagogical balances, the integration of industry-based tutors, the significance of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), and the value of micro-credentials and stackable learning. It highlights the importance of understanding industry-based learners' needs and expectations, as well as the co-design of assessments and the implementation of reflective learning practices. Key takeaways include the rewarding nature of industry partnerships, the resource-intensive nature of co-development, and the institutional challenges in scaling up such initiatives.
