Digital content creation
Create, edit and adapt digital content for a purpose and audience.
Why it matters
Choices about words, images, sound and format shape what digital content communicates. Editing for a purpose and audience helps make the message clear; adapting others’ work also calls for care with sources and permission.
What this can look like
- adapts digital content for a particular audience
- combines text, images, audio or video to communicate a message
- edits content to improve its clarity or meaning
Youth relevance
A class presentation, a video for an online community or a volunteering group’s announcement each calls for different content choices. Young people can consider what the audience needs to understand and how to credit material they reuse.
Ways young people can practise this skill
- adapt the same message for two digital audiences or formats
- combine and edit contributions into digital content for a shared project
- adapt existing digital content for a new purpose, considering sources and permission
