In this case study, undergraduate Real Estate students were required to plan, produce and submit a short video assignment to consolidate and capture key learning outcomes from their one-year placement experience. The module leader wanted to try the creation of video instead of written reflections, as many students had trouble achieving true reflection in the written assignments. The students created videos in small groups, which allowed them to develop employability skills and support each other with the new technologies and approaches they were using.
This approach required additional support but students enjoyed the experience more and appreciated the real world aspects of creating video presentations and working in groups.
