Summary: Modifying the IMT module to focus less on coding and instead for each student to develop a professional representation of themselves and present it online. At this stage the student should have created content as part of their coursework which can form the beginnings of a portfolio of work... as a style emerges in their work to help them recognise that, to define their practice, to articulate effectively with a view to presenting a professional profile of themselves and their body of work online.

Ideally in collaboration/sync with projects from other modules- so that they might be included in an appropriate way by the end of semester.
