Technologies: Design Solutions

The Internet has dramatically changed the way people and organisations communicate, whether for better or worse. For many, online communication through digital and social media is now one of their most significant forms of interaction with others. Digital and social media also underpin collaboration between people, either in formal groups or loose networks. Understanding how the Internet affords us new and different ways of communicating is, therefore, essential. This subject will enable you to become an effective and sophisticated user of digital and social media, able to deploy techniques, technologies and underlying concepts for online communication, collaboration and media creation.

It is designed to give students the critical literacies required to assess the merit of such tools, use them to design and build robust solutions to everyday problems and evaluate their suitability for the chosen task. Students will be able to take the lessons learned in this unit and apply them across a range of learning landscapes.
