This unit provides an introduction to teaching and learning through the arts. The unit offers opportunities for insight and experience into how significant issues can be explored using a repertoire of unique learning processes, techniques and languages specific to the arts. Students will develop critical and creative thinking by using arts processes of expressing, interpreting and communicating ideas and feelings. The techniques and processes relevant to the art forms of drama, media arts and dance will be introduced, thereby developing an understanding of how these art forms are an essential component of education.
Some off campus class times are scheduled out of usual business hours to provide flexibility to the off campus students enrolling in their 'timetabled class time' (which applies to the weeks that are scheduled as synchronous weeks).

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
