5. We have a home campus but this is self managed learning so a lot
happens at a distance. Everyone will have an academic adviser to help.
A liberal estimate of the time it will take during the 12 week study periods
is approximately 6 hours per week (or more). Schedule this into your own
diary as study time so that the work can fit around your other jobs.
We work with social media, digital media and paper copies.
Deadlines for drafts and final work are important.

6. Jonnie Peacock – his win was unexpected but the home crowd were routing for him.

7. Use the university website for information during your studies.

8. Use UniHub for information during your studies.

15. The Readers are there to
support your learning and
to challenge you. They are
not there as just ‘content’
to learn… but are there to
get you thinking about
your professional practice.
This is a Level 6 Honours
level programme so the
expectations are that
your work will be of high
standard and your
learning will be self-
managed. Dedicated
support is available from
your adviser, the BAPP
(Arts) team, and the
university staff.

16. Working but enjoying the learning journey – like the entertainment at the Olympic
Opening Ceremony. The BAPP Arts network is a great asset for individual learners.

18. Peer blogs
Your learning blog can adopt your own personal style.

19. Tutor blogs
Tutor blogs give generic feedback and are there to join in the discussions.

20. BAPPmdx YouTube
We also use other social media to connect. The BAPP Arts philosophy is to
use social media that you can carry on using after the course.

21. Mo Farrah became an instant celebrity and the audience applauded his success.

22. Carrying on the olympic theme – Corinda worked and the Parlympics and
has shared her story using words and images. These might give you some
ideas for you own stories about your workplace.

24. Here are other cast members from different sections of the show. Our
group were 'Enlightenment' we are trees.. Our section within the
Enlightenment group was about 'Gravity' , Sir Isaac Newton and the apple..
Sir Stephen King was physically there in person and narrating during part of
our dance. The boys in blue in the picture below are skaters, they were
fantastic, and were in the 'Empowerment' section.

25. This was a prop with two disabled dancers as you can see. They were in the
section about knowledge.

26. Hi Paula, the apples were props used in the 'Gravity' section. They were filled with
helium and at a certain point were released on a line at the same time, it was a
wonderful effect... The other props are red tents, representing activists camping
outside the Nuclear Atomic Weapons establishment during the period the UK were
campaigning against Nuclear Weapons etc..

27. The two cast members on the right were representing eye 'lashes'. They were on
the top of a pole (approx 30 feet high) swaying and the whole picture could be
seen from an aerial shot of an eye. My cast friend and I were walking around
backstage before our section to perform and we took plenty of backstage shots.

28. I didn't mention the two photos sent were of
Beverly Knight who sang in the Finale 'I am
what I am' we happened to be at the right
place and lucky to have a photo with her. The
other photo was of a Russian Paralympian who
insisted on having a photo with our group. He
was rather good looking!!
This was when the Cauldron was lit, we were
with the other cast members watching.
I was delighted to receive a personal
letter from the Prime Minister
thanking me, us volunteers for taking
time out to volunteer. That was a
very much appreciated gesture.
