    Project Outline
    You will work in teams to investigate an IT occupation, including interviewing a
    professional working in the industry. Your team will research the career thoroughly
    and then
    anage and document your project, researching the career thoroughly
    b) Make a presentation of your findings to the students in your workshop,
    including a vodcast of our interview with an IT professional
    c) Prepare a final version of your vodcast for sharing your information virtually
    with all students across the subject, either in this or subsequent semesters
    6
    Group Assignments and Moderation of Marks
    All students will receive the same mark for this assignment unless at least half of the team
    requests a Peer Assessment. Using Peer Assessment the mark of each membwill b weighted according to their individual contribution as assessed by their peers in the
    team using the peer assessment form, and the tutor and subject co-ordinator. The Peer
    Assessment form is in the Assignments folder on UTS Online and must be completed by
    each student in any team experiencing problems and handed to your workshop lecturer or
    tutor individually at the time of the presentation or vodcast upload. Additionally,
    information provided in the time management reports submitted by each student will b user to determine appropriate weighting of results. The non-submission of a time
    management report may be considered insufficient contribution should a peer aessment
    situation arise, and may support the awarding of zero marks. Peer Assessment is
    optional and should only be considered where other methods of solving group
    problems have been exhausted. If you have trouble with the operation of your team, ask
    your tutor for advice as soon as problems arise, a quick discussion can usually produce a
    solution in the early stages, but it is much harder to solve when most of the semester
    has passed. No complaints about team operation will be considered after both
    components of the assignment have been completed.
    Procedure
    1. Team Formation and Career Selection
    In your workshop in Week 4 you will form your working teams, select which IT career
    you would like to research and choose the week you would prefer to present. In order to
    make the career presentations more interesting and informative for your fellow classmates,
    each team from your workshop must investigate a different care. If you know an IT
    professional working in the industry, you are encouraged to interview them. By week
    5 you must supply their name, organization, role and contact details to your workshop
    tutor. If the interviewee is your parent or someone you know well, you are encouraged
    to ask a group mate to run the interview. If you cannot find a professional to interview,
    one will be contacted for you by the careers service. Since there are a limited number of
    IT professionals available for interview and only 1 team will be able to interview each
    professional, you may not receive your preferred career choice. It is your responsibility
    to arrange the interview, after receiving the contact details of the interviewee.
    2. Background Research
    You will use a number of resources to undertake basic research into the career your team
    is investigating, for example:
    UTS Careers Service: www.ssu.uts.edu.au/careers
    ▪ IT Student and Graduate Profiles: http://www.uts.edu.au/future-
    students/information-technology/it-student-and-graduate-profiles/it-student-
    profiles
    ▪ Internet – websites for companies, research organisations, government
    Departments
    Specialist journals and magazines that have advertisements for jobs
    ▪ Newspaper and online job advertisements, past and present.
    7
    3. Audio-visual Equipment
    For recording the interview with the IT professional you may use one of several video
    camera, microphone and lighting kits that the Faculty has purchased for your use. This
    equipment may be booked by emailing FEITLPAdmin@uts.edu.au (maximum borrowing
    period is 48 hours).
    4. Interview
    Once you have completed your background research and are confident in using the
    audio-visual equipment, you will be in a position to finalisyour questions and organise
    your interview with the IT professional. Remember that the person you are Contacting is
    a busy professional who will not be impressed with you if you waste their time. There will
    only be one opportunity for you to interview them and the interview will last about 20
    minutes. So you must be well prepared, both in terms of what questions you intend to ask,
    who will be asking questions and who will be recording the interview. You may wish to ask
    questions about:
    What the person does in the job
    •  Qualifications, experience, skills (including communication skills) and personal
    attributes needed to obtain and hold a position in this area
    •  Where and in what type of companies graduates might find employment in this
    career
    What positives as well as challenges are associated with the career
    •  Particular ethical issues at are encountered. NOTE – do not ask the professional
    what ethical issues they themselves have encountered – that is too specific and
    may be asking the professional to divulge personal or confidential information!
    Ask instead: ‘what type of ethical issues would be encountered by an IT
    professional in this role?’.
    Opportunities for career advancement
    •  Other issues of interest to you. Please write around a further 10 interesting
    questions to ask during the interview. Some research on the role, thcompany and
    the products or services they produce may help you to develop some interesting
    questions to ask.
    At the beginning of the interview, you must have the IT professional to sign the Release
    Form (see the Assignments folder on UTS Online) granting permission for the recording of
    the interview to be shown to students in this subject in your presentation and via vodcast
    or audio slideshow on UTS Online.
    Remember to organize a back-up if one of your recording devices should fail at  . Make sure you are confident in using the recording equipment before th interview and check that the devices will be available at the time of your interview. If there
    is no video or sound recording to support your presentation and form your vodcast you
    will lose marks. Following the interview, you should contact the professional to thank
    them for giving up their time for your assignment.
    5. Presentation
    You will present the findings of your project to your workshop, stimulate discussion about
    the career and answer any questions from the audience. Each person within the group is
    expected to contribute to the preparation and delivery equally. You must prepar presentation slides to support your presentation and also incorporate portions of the
    8
    vodcast from your interview with the IT professional into the presentation to support it
    and add to the interest of the presentation. Remember that you are being marked on you
    presentation skills and not on your vodcast at this time. The selections from your vodcast
    are to be no more than 5 minutes of the 20 minute presentation (about 1 minute per
    person). Note: Zero (0) marks will be awarded for the presentation to any team whose
    members read instead of present.
    6. Vodcast
    After giving your presentation, your team should continue to edit the vodcast footage, to
    develop a standalone vodcast that will be submitted in Week 10. In Week 10 you should
    upload the final version of your vodcast to thVodcast Dropbox on UTS Online (not to
    YouTube or any other website). The file name should include 3 components: Name of
    the career_Name of your workshop tutor_Family names of all your team members - eg.
    :AnalystProgrammer_Jennifer_KinghornHo&Cruwys.
    The vodcast or slideshow will be standalone, based on the recording of your interview with the
    IT professional. If the IT professional is reluctant to be identified by name in the vodcast, you
    must de-identify it. In order to maximise the impact of your interview recording, you will need
    to edit it and add an introduction to say which career is being investigated, transitions showing
    the aspects of the career you are discussing, and concluding credits. You do not neto include
    all the information you delivered in your workshop presentation. Some useful media training
    resources are at: http://ometra.wordpress.com. Also – you will need to compress the video file
    to upload it to UTS Online. Please do not upload files larger than 250mb. Note: Zero (0) marks
    will be awarded for any vodcast where the team cannot supply a Release Form duly signed by
    IT professional who was interviewed. The Release Form must be scanned and uploaded to
    the appropriate section of UTS Online.
    7. Format of Time Management Report
    Thtime management report should be created progressively as the time management syste.
    (we currently recommend www.nirvanahq.com) Nirvanahq is used over the course of th semester. The time management report will be a printout of the final state of the time
    management system. Students may substitute their own time management system if they wish,
    but their time management documentation must still satisfy the assessment criteria. Note that
    beginning the time management report after the assignment is complete is not acceptable.
    Writing the report in a Word Processor cannot satisfy the assessment criteria, so submissions
    written in word documents will attract 0 marks for this section. Also, as mentioned above, the
    time management report may be used when a group requests peer assessment.
