Digital Media

In the Caribbean, knowledge and information are increasingly communicated


through digital images and electronic media. The creation and manipulation of digital
media serves to disseminate this information and build bridges to the evolving
national, regional and international society in the digital era. Digital Media
competencies are therefore of great relevance and practical value. By increasing the
cadre of digital media practitioners, such as content creators, animators, web
developers, graphic artists and mobile app developers, the region secures the
skillsets and knowledge base that are essential to building and sustaining the digital
economy in the Caribbean.

The CAPE Digital Media Syllabus offers students the opportunity to acquire a variety
of experiences and skills in the areas of digital media conceptualisation, design and
development. It also fosters interest and enjoyment in the practical application,
production and consumption of digital media and seeks to develop informed citizens,
competent practitioners and raise the standard of digital media production among
students and across industry.

The Digital Media Syllabus consists of two Units of 150 hours, each comprising three
Modules of 50 hours each. Each Module is compulsory.

Unit 1: Digital Media Fundamentals

Module 1 – Understanding Digital Media


Module 2 – Digital Media Ecosystem
Module 3 – Creative Solution Design

Unit 2: Applied Digital Media

Module 1 – Visual and Interactive Design


Module 2 – Web and Digital Publishing
