Design a website that offers a historical and contemporary understanding of Australia in relation to JUST one (1) of the following topics: INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS or ASYLUM SEEKERS or ASIA Once you have chosen your topic your next step is to carefully think about two things: (1) What CONTENT to provide? (2) How to PRESENT your content? CONTENT Your task is to find out as much as you can about your chosen topic. Your content must contribute to the three core sections that your website must provide: 1. Historical Background 2. Contemporary Situation 3. Personal Reflection Please ensure that your website is divided into these three (3) sections with corresponding headings (EXACTLY as written above). Each section must be between 300-500 words in length. The overall length of the project must be between 900-1500 words. Historical Background Provide some key historical facts about Australia and your chosen topic (and remember to reference your sources!). There may be many historical facts to choose from, but given the word limit just pick the key historical facts that YOU think are important or worth sharing with your Internet audience. (Relevant to Criterion 2. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). Contemporary Situation This section should provide information on the contemporary situation about Australia and your chosen topic (ONLY within the last 5 years). There may be many things you could say about the contemporary situation, but given the word limit just pick the key facts that YOU think are important or worth sharing with your Internet audience The information for this section MUST come from at least two (2) internet NEWS ARTICLES published within the last 5 years that contribute to an understanding of the contemporary situation. Please ensure that you provide clickable links to those news articles. (Relevant to Criterion 3. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). 3 Personal Reflection Lastly, you must provide a reflection section offering your personal thoughts about how you have come to understand Australia as a result of your findings. In other words, what is your impression of Australia in relation to your chosen topic and why? (Relevant to Criterion 4. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). PRESENTATION The second thing you need to think carefully about is how to present your findings. You need to work out how you will design the website so that your content will be presented in an engaging and interesting way. TO PREPARE YOU FOR THIS instructions on how to create a website for this assignment will be provided in your Computer Workshop class in Week 10. PLEASE DO NOT MISS THIS CLASS. If you do, please contact your Computer Workshop teacher as soon as possible. Multimodal Content You will be graded on your choice of multimodal content, for example, your choice of images, audio and/or video and any other media content (relevant to Criterion 1. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). You will also be graded on the extent to which your multimedia content blends in with and generally enhances your written content (relevant to Criterion 6. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). Because your project will be presented in an online environment it is possible for your presentation to be very creative and thought provoking (relevant to Criterion 5. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). At a minimum, your website MUST contain the following multimodal elements: •  Video and/or audio. Links to YouTube (or similar) are OK. Embedded YouTube (or similar) content would be even more professional. •  Minimum of two links to relevant internet news items •  Images (3 or more for each section) •  Text (i.e. your written content) Double-check to make sure that any links/content added to your website work properly! REFERENCES Your website must contain a list of all the research references used for your project (including videos but NOT images – you don’t have to reference your images but you should label them!). List the relevant references at the BOTTOM OF THE RELEVANT SECTION on your website. In other words, the references used for the Historical Background section should be listed at the bottom of the Historical Background section and the references used for the Contemporary Situation section should be listed at the bottom of the Contemporary Situation section. As the Personal Reflection section will contain your own reflections a references list is not expected in that section unless you choose to add information from a source to compliment your reflection. The references must follow the instructions in the Referencing Guide for Australian Studies (which follows the UTS Harvard Referencing Style) and is located in the FAS001 Week 3 folder on UTSOnline (relevant to Criterion 8. See Assessment Criteria on the last page of this Project Brief). 4 If you have any questions regarding this project please do not hesitate to ask your teacher. DEADLINE The deadline for this project is Week 12 in class before the end of the workshop. Please note that you MUST submit a copy of your written text (and research references) to Turnitin BEFORE you email your website link to your teacher. Anything submitted after the above will incur late penalties. Please check the Unit Outline for late penalties/submissions. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 1. Selection and organisation of content (10%) 2.
