What it covers

Knowledge of the evolving digital "grammar" of video production, broadcasting, news reporting, advertising, and social media is a powerful literacy that is essential for media communication professionals of the future. This "hands on", project-based unit provides you with a collaborative learning space where you can combine analytical skills in digital literacy with practical skills in media production to develop digital fluency. You will work in small groups to create a digital storytelling project that reflects on an aspect of media communication of relevance to the digital age. You will also have opportunities for self-initiated learning and individual assignments.
