| Abstract: | The Brisbane Media Map is both an online resource and a tertiary-level authentic learning project. The Brisbane Media Map
is an online database which provides a detailed overview of about 600 media industry organizations in Brisbane, Australia.
In addition to providing contact details and synopses for each organization’s profile, the Brisbane Media Map also includes
supplementary information on current issues, trends, and individuals in the media and communication industry sectors. This
resource is produced and updated annually by final-year undergraduate Media and Communication students. This article introduces
the Brisbane Media Map, its functionality and systems design approach, as well as its alignment with key learning infrastructures.
It examines authentic learning as the pedagogical framework underpinning the ongoing development work of the resource and
highlights some synergies of this framework with participatory design principles. The Brisbane Media Map is a useful example
of an authentic learning approach that successfully engages students of non-traditional and non-design areas of study in human–computer
interaction, usability, and participatory design activities. |
