New media technologies have opened up vast opportunities for skilled professionals to earn a decent living for themselves as content creators. Communicators with digital content creation competence do not necessarily have to seek to be employed by a media organization before they can earn a living. That is the opportunity that this course targets to open up for students.
The course is designed to stir and boost the creativity of the students, improve their writing and editing skills so as to become professional content creators. It is designed to expose students to the modalities of creating media content (audio, video, audio-video and (or) print) and its different mechanisms. The importance of this course also lies in supporting sustainable development goals (SDGs) numbers 1, 4 and 8 in the areas of no poverty, quality education and decent work respectively. The objectives of the course, learning outcomes, and contents are provided to address this need.
