Digital Asset and Media Management Technologies In Practice (15 credits)

Module description

The Digital Asset and Media Management in Practice module introduces students to a range of related themes that frame the practice of Digital Asset and Media Management as organisational response to digital innovation.

Educational aims & objectives

This module provides an understanding of the practical implementation of digital asset and media technologies. It will demonstrate in particular the importance to digital asset management of various approaches to modelling and representing information, and the role of digital repository technologies in implementing these approaches. The module includes an overview of the current state of the art in the field, and will address a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. It will also present a number of case studies, based on real - life examples from work with researchers and archivists with KCL, which are representative of the current applications of digital repositories to a broad range of digital assets. In this way we will build an understanding of the process of developing digital repository and information management systems through the application of analytical, interpretation and communication skills. Students will develop critical skills for assessing the relevance of different approaches to representing information in specific contexts.
