Course Overview

The first version of a story about interactive digital content tends to become the reference version. Journalists covering this part of communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. The content is relevant to those who own this strand of communications and media practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of interactive digital content and supervised application. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this aspect of communications and media practice is rarely technical. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the communications and media practice discipline under scrutiny. It establishes a shared vocabulary for interactive digital content so that teams can disagree productively about it. Plans for the communications and media practice capability often fail at the handover point between functions. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of communications and media practice that would make a visible difference.
