Ravensbourne College MA Postgraduate Studies Programme Networked Media Environments The MA in Networked Media Environments at Ravensbourne College's Postgraduate Studies programme offers itself as an opportunity for students to engage with the latest developments in online publishing. The one-year full time MA course delivers a balanced course structure consisting of practical work, technical studies and contemporary studies and is aimed at making you become a creator of interactive and networked applications on a wealth of platforms, including internet, mobiles and interactive television. The MA programme has subscribed to an Open Source College policy which means that the use of open source software and licences is encouraged whenever possible. The NME has created the Networked Learning Lab, a unique facility where students can create experimental applications in a Linux environment. Technical teaching introduces you to key concepts behind the internet and networked information architectures, before it progresses, according to your individual abilities, deeper into programming and creative application development. Latest networked tools such as wikis and web-logs are not only subject of study but are deeply integrated into the teaching and learning environment. You will have free webspace for your own web-pages, you can write your own web-log and use the wiki as a sketchboard and for group collaborations. You will also participate in the creation of the Mazine Online http://mazine.ws, a student led online magazine and Mazine, its printed equivalent. The MA core staff team brings together artistic, technical, theoretical and economic competency, as well as a working knowledge of current industry practice and contact networks. The team works focusedly to deliver the course with a student centred approach which means that your learning experience is being put at the heart of the attention. You will be masterminding your own Learning Plan, which contains your research strategies and your own evaluation of your progress through the year. The NME is looking for students with a wide variety of backgrounds, from journalists, photographers and film makers who want to move into online publishing to people with artistic and social aspirations who want to use the internet more effectively as an environment for communication and collaboration. With its emphasis on creation for and within networks the NME is a unique course in the higher education landscape in the UK. No other place offers such a cutting edge environment for a year of learning, experimenting and innovating in the networked domain.
