Digital Writing | Federation University

BAWRT2004 Digital Writing

This unit immerses students in the theory and practice of creating digital stories and interactive narratives. Through a series of short creative assignments, culminating in a final project, students will work with text, digital imaging, sound, video, and other media to create new forms of digital writing. Students will explore the theories and expressive possibilities of digital writing through mini-lectures, readings and discussion, examining examples of digital writing including digital stories, games, hypertexts, social media and podcasts. This unit enables students to gain insight into the historical, cultural, political, economic, rhetorical and critical contexts of digital writing and develop a suite of core digital literacies.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,021

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
