What is digital writing?

In a national survey, Australian English teachers defined digital writing as the process of creating and sharing content on digital platforms. Whether it's a podcast, vlog, LinkedIn profile, or infographic, digital writing connects with audiences in new and exciting ways and is:

  • Participatory: Engaging audiences and fostering conversation

  • Collaborative: Involving teamwork and shared creation

  • Networked: Connects people through digital platforms

  • Multimodal: Combining different modes like sound and vision

  • Iterative: Constantly evolving and improving

Digital writing is the future of storytelling, combining creativity with technology to captivate and inspire.
