Choosing the Right Digital Format: Final Decision

Students lock two different digital formats for Key Assignment 1 on one Something Real topic. Format 1 must work in the VET interview; Format 2 serves a second audience. They save sm2_two_format_plan with purpose–audience justifications so they are not rebuilding halfway through the module.

    1 - Introduction ~5 mins

    Today you will

    • pick two different formats for your project
    • make sure one of them works in your VET interview
    • write why each one fits, and who it is for

    Illustration for IntroductionYou will save all this in a plan called {{code:sm2_two_format_plan}}.

    Warm-up

    With a partner, name one format that would suit an interview. Then name one that would suit someone scrolling on a phone.

    2 - Key Concepts ~6 mins

    Different format means a different kind of thing, like a slide deck and a carousel. Two slide decks with different titles do not count.

    Purpose is what the piece is for, such as to persuade.

    Audience is who will see it, like an examiner.

    A VET-ready format is one you can open without internet and present in the interview.

    Example: Aoife

    • Format 1 (VET): a six-slide deck to show the examiner her plan.
    • Format 2: an Instagram carousel to attract students in her town.

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~12 mins

    You will build the outline of Aoife's Two Format Plan as practice. Follow the steps in the box below. Your teacher will read out Aoife's full wording.

    4 - Common Issues ~5 mins

    Common issues

    • Both my formats are slide decks. Keep one deck, and make the second one different, like a short video or a carousel.
    • I want a TikTok for the VET. Only use a video you can save as an {{code:.mp4}} and play offline. Otherwise, keep it for Format 2.
    • I have no topic yet. Agree your topic with your teacher before you open the file.
