Creative iMedia
You need to complete three units to pass this course.
Two of those units are mandatory – everyone has to do them:
- R093 – Creative iMedia in the media industry. Exam unit. The exam is 1 hour 30 minutes and is done with a pen in an exam hall. 40% of the final mark;
- R094 – Visual identity and digital graphics. Portfolio unit. 25% of the final mark;
You then have to do one more unit from this list. These are all portfolio units worth 35% of the final mark:
- R095 – Characters and comics – there are resources for this unit
- R096 – Animation with audio
- R097 – Interactive digital media – there are resources for this unit
- R098 – Visual imaging
- R099 – Digital games
This means that 60% of the mark is made up of portfolio units.

Resources
I've collected all the OCR templates in one place and tweaked the word files so that they're slightly easier to use.
There are collections of copyright free image sources and sources of free audio and video. There's also a set of Photoshop and Illustrator tools which can save time during writeups.
For teachers, I've also done some work on making the OCR markgrids easier to edit. And have a way in which mailmerge can be used to make some of the filling in easier to handle.
In particular, this can help with the repetitiveness of filling in the candidate name and number. The mailmerge then splits the markgrid into separate documents for each candidate and, with some luck, names the files in the way that the exam board wants. It's something I find saves a huge amount of time and saves me misspelling names. Well worth a look.
