Cyberstar is the subject that guides the student to create, host, and promote the student’s artistic practice online. In #Cyberstar the student aims to build a complete online portfolio.
This online subject covers contemporary web design techniques, engages with design to build context around the work, covers methods for integrating social media into online portfolios, and explores techniques for preparing and presenting physical or performative work in an online environment.
By the end of the subject the student should have a complete, live, online portfolio and the skills to begin their web presence.
Students learn to conceptualise and plan the structure and content of an online portfolio website, with an aim towards building meaningful context around their work and a consistent visual identity for their online portfolio website. The plan should demonstrate how the website will best suit the creative practice of the student, and integrate social media for promotional purposes.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- demonstrate experience in the planning and preproduction of an online portfolio;
- competency in basic web design concepts and skills;
- demonstrate experience in preparing and hosting digital media for the web;
- demonstrate experience building a complete online portfolio;
- an understanding of methods for integrating social media into an online portfolio.
