Digital creation, innovation and scholarship

Creating and producing digital content is a process that draws on capabilities from other domains. Information and media literacies are used. Digital content can be any combination of text, graphics, audio and video.

This domain highlights the need for a design mindset. Typically this means co-developing solutions to problems with patients and citizens.

This domain involves you demonstrating:

  • the ability to create new digital resources and/or curate existing ones working individually or in collaboration with others
  • the ability to use digital technologies and tools to support research/scholarship activities
  • the ability to use digital technologies to support or create new ways of doing things
  • the ability to act as a digital champion or change agent
