TRIPS - Materials to support the delivery of core knowledge content for the T Level in Media, broadcasting and production.

This T Level Resource Improvement Project (TRIP) has produced a range of learning materials, developed by an experienced T Level provider. These learning materials support an applied approach to the delivery of a specific area of core knowledge content. These materials also encourage an approach to delivery that focuses on supporting higher order thinking skills to maximise learner understanding. This TRIP focuses particularly on content that requires a high level of understanding rather than just recall.

Produced by Capital City College, this TRIP provides an accessible Framework for Learning, lesson plans and supporting learning materials that will enable learners to develop understanding of a specific area of core knowledge content in the T Level in Media, broadcasting and production. The specific area of core knowledge content covered is the creative economy (Core Content Area 1). In particular these materials focus on the creative supply chain, the features of models used to monetise products and services in the creative industries and the common sources of finance and funding opportunities available within the creative industries. The lessons in this TRIP also support development of Core Skills: generating ideas, developing ideas and reflective practice.

The resources include:

• A Framework for Learning to show how learning is scaffolded and sequenced through the achievement of applied and purposeful outputs
• 10 sequenced lesson plans which cover 20 hours of learning
• Learning materials to support each lesson which enables the delivery of the 20 hours of learning.

The overall purpose of this resource, as set out in the Framework for Learning, is to develop learners knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the development of a creative business. The lessons enable learners to apply their understanding of the creative economy, responding to realistic industry briefs, making informed decisions about supply chains, monetisation models, and funding options within budget constraints.

 The Framework for Learning and supporting lesson plans provided in this resource relate to:

• Setting up a vlog
• Social media and influencers
• Radio broadcasting
• Film.

Each lesson has a lesson plan, with a range of supporting materials such as learner activities, links to websites and other media, handouts and case studies. There is also a separate slide deck to be used to support delivery of the 10 lessons and a spreadsheet for use with specific lessons.
