What learners made

Podcast

Participants in each group were able to create their own podcast episodes on any topic of their choice. They had to put together the podcast and its different sections themselves, and make sure it flowed well. This one was created by Jordi, Dani and Sally.

News Demo

During one session, participants took part in creating a news report from scratch and recorded this live. Taking current news stories, they constructed a journalist layout to present this on-air. Individually, they recorded and then edited this down to the final feature. Please see below one example created by Saima, Jordi & Rachel.
