Why Media?
• Adrian Miles (RMIT):
“ make our institution…more porous to the students’ private technologies – their mobile phones, their laptops and their cameras.”
• Innate human desire/need to create• Ubiquity and ease of participatory media enables
creation of art, film, documents, course content, assessments, etc

TO <EMBED> OR
</NOT TO EMBED?>
Making Executive Functions explicit produces better results than embedding. (Martin Westwell) (Is the same true for employability skills?)
We need 'character education' that develops executive functions. This needs to be explicit in curricula that focus on training the person rather than just teaching content. We need to develop effective assessment strategies to promote and measure these characteristics. (Westwell)
