DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Social media requires a different approach to communication and writing in terms of how you write, who you are communicating with and how your message is received. Using social media tools, learners practise and assess their social media writing capacity. Topics, such as generational preferences, integrating informal writing and communication for corporate purposes, personal branding and communicating appropriately to different target groups using different digital communication tools are explored. Learners discuss the importance of building an online personal brand and develop a personal blog for the purposes of branding and managing their online reputation.
