Putting Student Journalism Work Online
Cardiff University has an interesting site that provides a nice example of how to package a journalism course and display student work online. It was part of a postgraduate course.
It is a fun site to click about and it is also a good place to see what students are capable of doing.
The students research, write, design and package their own stories and are accessed by these criteria:
- Choice and focus of piece
- Headline, standfirst and intro
- Structure of piece
- Tightness and clarity of writing
- Accuracy (grammar, spelling and punctuation)
- Use of source material (quotes, key facts etc)
- Use of pictures, captions and other supporting images
- Use of links
- Use of layout devices – boxouts, pull quotes, main and cross heads, lists etc
