Our Mission Statement

To use digital mediums to communicate the course outline and benefits of the

Digital Communications and Cultures Program in order to attract, excite and entice

current, prospective domestic and international students to enrol in the degree/s.

Current statement for the program:

“The Digital Communication and Culture programs take an interdisciplinary approach to

understanding the changes in information and communication technologies, which

dramatically impact everyday life. The course examines the complex interplay between

technical infrastructures, design practices, policy frameworks, organisational models, cultural

identities, technologies and social power.”

We want to bring this statement to life!

What do we currently have?

• Cute animation / remix – excites people

• Concise information on the course and its aims

• Clear navigation

How can it be improved?

• By DEMONSTRATING remixed creations by students

• This will help COMMUNICATE the purpose and outcomes of the course

• EXCITING remixed media to entice and enthuse prospective domestic

students, international students and current students

• All in a cost-effective manner

END RESULT:

More students enrolled, more resources, more fun!

Isn’t this just for one department?

No…

This is a pilot created for the applicable department, but can easily be created for

other Arts Departments:

Benefit all departments who want to attract more students and convey the high

calibre of work by past students
