==Introduction==

In NMAC 3108, Writing for Digital Media, students explore the ways to write for websites, blogs, and other forms of digital media. Digital media is defined as different platforms through which people communicate electronically.

Social media sites like Twitter, "About Me" pages, and online resume sites like Visual CV create an opportunity to facilitate better writing. Proper navigation, contact information, good writing, usability, relevant links, support, and a strong identification are necessary in order to exhibit professionalism when writing for the digital age.

A site made with these key elements in mind ensures credible writing directed towards the appropriate audience. Design, graphics, and scan-ability are vital to the process of writing for the screen. Paying close attention to these elements creates a visually appealing work of web writing that will attract readers.

With the advent of e-readers, iPads, and other innovations of the Digital Age, it is important that students prepare themselves for the specific writing style necessary to successfully write for various forms of digital media.
