What do teachers say about this resource? (10490)

Useful and clearly outlines theories relevant to each concept of media well. Very user-friendly (for both teachers and students) as a knowledge-rich resource that it easily digestible. I think it could easily become a classroom staple for teachers to support their students' understanding of what can be tricky topics to remember and tie to the correct theoretical aspect/concept... The explanations of theory are very clear and written in student-friendly language... [This resource] enhances learning by allowing students to develop a clear understanding of different theories and grasp the key elements of each theoretical approach. It also helps to provide a reference guide for students to use throughout their study of the course to serve as a reminder or refresher of theories in relation to the concept they are linked to... Each topic sheet is well-presented and set out clearly... The pages are not overloaded with information and the inclusion of images linked to the ideas is helpful to allow students to understand.
