Assessment Task 2: Ethics Application for Indigenous Research
Type: Report / Individually assessed
Weighting: 20%
Length: 800-1000 words
Due: Week 6 / Friday September 22, 2023
Assessment Description
Students implement specialised knowledge of ethical Indigenous research approaches in
professional contexts.
During their studies at UTS, students develop knowledge of Indigenous Australian contexts to
inform their capability to work effectively for and with Indigenous Australians within their
profession. Within the Master of Animation and Visualisation, students have been taught how to
work in culturally appropriate ways with stakeholders to protect Indigenous cultural and
intellectual property rights and when developing relevant elements (design, story, implementation,
presentation, etc.) for projects within the fields of animation and/or visualisation.
In the early stages of the masters course, students proposed projects that incorporated
Indigenous cultural elements and/or stakeholders. In this assessment, students propose to
progress these projects and to do so prepare a draft of a document seeking ethics approval to
commence the appropriate research.
Through this process, students develop the relevant professional capabilities when developing or
collaborating on Indigenous research projects and/or after graduating in personal and/or
professional contexts.
Assessment Task
Prepare a draft for an ethics application to conduct research for an identified creative animation
or visualisation project involving Indigenous stakeholders.
