Overview

Content producers are required to manage an online presence that delivers timely and relevant content to users in real time across a myriad of digital channels and devices. This unit aims to cultivate technical knowledge and skills in building and managing responsive and dynamic web-applications within a commercial digital content management system. Through principles of information architecture, applications are structured to organise digital assets for accessible and efficient delivery. Through strategies and techniques of content velocity and personalisation, web-applications are optimised to promote relevant content with a view to making technology transparent to the end-user experience
