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 on 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, usability, relevance, support, and identification are necessary in order to exhibit professionalism when writing in 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. | |||
