The course familiarizes students with creating an Internet radio station using a personal home computer. It encompasses all the technical aspects required as well as audio production and presentation techniques, followed by feedback sessions in which the students and the lecturer will identify examples of good practice as well as points for improvement. Students will be expected to work both individually and in teams. They will be working towards pre-established deadlines for which effective time management and communication will be essential.
