The Media Literacy Lab is based on three key areas on media engagement:
1. Media and consumption:
2. Content and creation:
3. Human rights and activism:
The digital modules are designed with clear learning pathways to ensure that specific learning outcomes are achieved.
Each module includes stretch activities, scaffolding, individualised feedback, and exploratory learning pathways so that no two journeys are the same. Designed for students aged 12-16 each digital module contains the following:
Extension activities with a suggested completion time.
Options for flexible delivery, with modules able to be completed independently either in school or at home.
Keyboard shortcuts and comprehensive screen reader ensures content is accessible to all students.
Accompanying the interactive modules are collaborative classroom activities that can be completed before and after the modules, which set the context and allow students to apply their learning.
Explicit learning intentions and success criteria are guided by a lesson outline and slide deck to support delivery.
Downloadable teacher packs for each module include the above resources, curriculum content descriptor links to use in your planning, and an answer key.
Student achievement recognised with a certificate upon completion of all modules.
The sSmart Media Literacy Lab is aligned with the following Learning Areas and General Capabilities for years 7 to 10 in the Australian Curriculum v9.
