Life-Long Learning
This unit, as an introductory unit of the study, understanding and competence in audiovisual communication has clear flow-on effects in both personal and professional development within the undergraduate and postgraduate studies at this (or other universities and institutions of higher education) and also provides a basis for vocation/career learning and training in a large number of professions associated with users of audio-visual modes of communication and presentation.

Problem Solving
The assessment task in this unit, while descriptive in part, also require levels of critical and analytical thinking and articulation that demonstrate the process essential to understanding audio-visual communication: explication precede interpretation. Having described the 'problem', the assessment requires a solving (via intepretation). The unit is taught to foster these competencies and skills.

Social Responsibility
The unit's emphasis on the constructed nature of audio-visual communication and on the elements of that construction, implies a recognition of social responsibility, that film texts as products (of economic and social institution) also reflect, represent, reproduce and interrogate social questions, ideologies, etc.

Team Work
This is not at present an aspect of this unit. Off-campus students are, by the very nature of their place in the teaching situation, inhibited from any such activities. On-campus students will be required to collaborate on tutorial presentations. There is an implied sense of teamwork and its importance in that the primary texts and primary focus of the unit is upon feature films, which are commodities and art works utterly depend upon highly complex systems of collaboration for their successful production.
