Media TYS & TYS-VS

Our exclusive Teach Yourself Series (TYS) and Teach Yourself Video Series (TYS-VS) are available for Media.

Our expert teachers have identified the most important topics that require a high level of understanding to ensure success in Units 1 to 4 of Media and have created:

  1. the Teach Yourself Series: A detailed review of each key topic in Media, including a comprehensive content review, questions and corresponding solutions and explanations as separate booklets on each key topic.
  2. the Teach Yourself Video Series: An effective, engaging and concise video tutorial (30 to 90 minute tutorials on each topic) on each key topic providing detailed explanations on the key examinable areas of the study design to assist students to master one topic at a time.
     

The TYS and TYS-VS are designed to emphasise and consolidate the critical aspects of each topic ensuring that students are learning, remembering and understanding the key content examined by the VCAA, and are able to progressively do this throughout the year as each topic is learned.

The following topics are available for the current Media study design:

 

  • Topic 1 - Narrative - characteristics, construction of media narratives, codes and conventions to construct meaning within media products (Units 1, 2 & 3)
  • Topic 2 - Narrative - audience engagement, consumption and reception - present day and intended audiences (Units 1, 2 & 3)
  • Topic 3 - Naratives and their contexts (Unit 3)
  • Topic 4 - From development to distribution: The VCE Media production process (Units 2, 3 & 4)
  • Topic 5 - Agency & Control - the dynamic and changing relationship between the media and audience (Unit 4)
  • Topic 6 - Agency and control - the extent of media and audience influence, communication theories and media research (Unit 4)
  • Topic 7 - Agency and control - Government use of media, media regulation in Australia, issues and challenges (Unit 4)
  • Topic 8 - Agency and control - globalisation and the rise of social media, audience agency and the struggle for power (Unit 4)
  • Topic 9 - Agency and control - ethical and legal issues (Unit 4)
  • Topic 10 - Approaching the VCE Media exam (Units 3 & 4)

All TYS Topics are issued copyright free for the purchasing school.

Only one license is needed per subject per school for all students attending the school and for the entire length of the study design!  Access to the TYS-VS beyond the current study design will require another purchase of the resource by the school.
