Purpose
The second semester of the Multimedia Design and Communication education at KEA ends with an exam project. The student must demonstrate that he or she has achieved the learning goals for the 2 nd semester.

The exam project is based on an assignment, which the students must work with in groups of 3-5 persons. The time frame for the project is 4 weeks and each group must produce a report, a digital product and a video and hand it in on Wiseflow.

The oral exam is individual and has a starting point in the report, the digital product and the video, but the student must also demonstrate that he or she has achieved knowledge, skills and competences according to the learning goals for the 2nd semester.

The oral exam is external. It is graded after the 7-point grading scale. For further information refers to the current MMD Curriculum.

The exam is to demonstrate that the student is able to:
• communicate visually to a target group
• develop an interactive digital product, taking into account the stakeholders
• carry out a project in a team.
Resources: The group work with the Exam project assignment – report, digital product(s) and video - has duration of 4 weeks. 1-2 weeks after handing in of report, digital product(s) and video the individual oral exam will take place.

During the 4 weeks, where the groups work on the assignment, there will be teachers available for subject guidance (see Fronter for the Schedule). Each group will also be assigned a coach that will guide the group on organizational matters during the 4 weeks period. The assigned coach will also be the internal teacher at the oral exam.

The students can use all theoretical and technical elements that they have worked with during their 1st year of studying. KEA also provides the possibility to use/loan equipment for photography and video production.

User interface development :
The subject area comprises the design and development of digital solutions with special emphasis on the production of user interfaces. The focus is on all aspects of the development process based on common development methods, including planning, design and production of digital media tasks.
Here you’ll learn:
By working on the exam project in groups and writing the documentation, you will have to choose key theories, tools and methods in order to make the best solution (a digital prototype) and argue for your choices at the oral exam.

Here you’ll learn:
While working on the exam project, you will have to practice most of the skills and knowledge you have gained during 2 nd semester in order to make the best solution (a
digital prototype) as well as to reason and argue for your design choices and technical solutions in the the documentation and at the oral exam.

User interface development :
• select and argue in favour of the choice of key theories, tools and methods for
the design of complex digital user interfaces .

All:
• identify relevant theories, methods and tools for the execution of complex
digital media productions
• acquire new knowledge and skills within the programming and design of
complex user-centred user interfaces.
• identify relevant theories, methods and tools for the production of complex
digital content in teams
• acquire new knowledge, skills and competencies within the design and
production of complex digital content.
