AIMSThe aim of this programme is to further develop skills and technologies in creativetechnology disciplines. It will in particular develop critical analysis as a tool in the use ofdocumentation processes to evaluate, develop and resolve creative work and develop insome depth, 2D and 3D media, production and technology skills (hand and digital).In particular the programme will result in the production of a professional portfoliodemonstrating a high level of skills and technologies enabling students to be ready fordegree study.GRADUATE PROFILEGraduates will have:• Developed skills and technologies in some depth• Produced work that involves a range of media.• Produced workbooks that show evidence of investigation, documentation of technicalprocesses and conceptual development of work.• Developed an understanding and knowledge of the contexts within which creativetechnologies operate.CAREERSEmployment upon graduation with a certificate may be limited. However there will beopportunities in the creative industries at this level and in creative industries in the retailsector. For further employment opportunities, we recommend further study in the Diploma orBachelor in Creative Technologies.STAIRCASINGStudents completing the requirements for the Certificate in Creative Technologies (Level 4)may continue their studies into the Bachelor in Creative Technologies, either un-majored orwith majors in Digital Media, Visual Arts and Interior Design.PROGRESS THROUGH THE PROGRAMMEProgress is by completing and succeeding in all the coursework requirements for each of thefour courses.Minimum period for completion is 17 weeks; maximum two years.GRADUATION CRITERIAThe overall programme of study of every candidate shall comprise a minimum of 60 creditsachieved by four 15-credit courses.LEARNING AND TEACHINGPD A10 Text in Table and SB 25Appropriate staff will be available to Māori students for issues or concerns requiring extrapastoral support, and help working with various tools, equipment and computer programmesin their creative practice.Wellington Institute of Technology - 2013 HV4455 Programme Handbook February 2013Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 11

There is explicit Maori content in the Contextual Studies course as the relationship betweenthe culture within which one is operating to creative output is critical. In Aotearoa/NewZealand that culture includes Maori and acknowledgement and understanding of biculturalismis essential to an understanding of the context of creative production.ASSESSMENT PROCEDURESYou need to become familiar with the assessment procedures for your courses and thisProgramme. Overall Programme procedures are given below. There may also be coursespecific assessment procedures and requirements noted in your Course Outlines.Please note that all activities that contribute towards your final course grades, and thereforeyour qualification completion, are known as assessments (summative assessments to beprecise). There are many different types of assessment activities your tutors use in yourcourses.The WelTec Academic Regulations section 7 require that you:make yourself available to undertake all summative assessment items at the timeand place stipulated by the teaching staff responsible for the courseact with integrity (honesty) during assessments. You are expected to:o Submit material that is your own original worko Collaborate only as permittedo Acknowledge contributions from other sources by using APA reference format(failure to do this correctly may be regarded as plagiarism)o Keep written and electronic work secure to prevent others from accessing andcopying worko Understand the definition of academic dishonesty and the consequences ofbreaching the regulations (see Academic Regulations S12 Dishonest Practice).WelTec conducts assessments within rules set out in the following regulations and policies: The Academic Regulations 2013o Examination Ruleso Aegrotat regulationso Gradeso Resultso Challenging Assessment Decisionso Dishonest Practice in Assessmento Appeals Policy 3.05 Assessment Policyo Definitionso Guidelines for assessment practice Policy 3.07 Programme Moderation Policyo Quality assurance processes before using the assessment activityo Quality assurance processes after marking to verify marker’s consistencyYou may ask your tutors at any time about the quality-assured status of the assessmentactivities you are asked to complete.Assessment RationaleThe courses in this programme are assessed using achievement-based methods.The certificate is designed to develop graduates who are skilled in the technologies ofcreative practice and who are also being introduced to the tools of analysis and criticalthinking in order to able to assess their practice in a critical way. The assessment processesreflect the development of these skills.All courses are assessed and moderated formally and informally. Assessment methods areintended to reinforce the development of the skills and critical thinking. A variety ofassessment methods are used to test students’ understanding and performance as stated inWellington Institute of Technology - 2013 HV4455 Programme Handbook February 2013Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 12

the specific learning outcomes of each course. The criteria for the assessments are detailedin the Course Outlines given to the students, together with format and testing methods.Assessment types and procedures are designed to be fair to students of both genders, fromall cultural backgrounds and to not disadvantage any particular group.
