An asynchronous course designed to provide the context and skills needed to successfully keyword digital media to improve user search experience.
Images are essential for online businesses, but creating images is not enough. In today’s digital landscape, we need a visual language to organise and maintain expanding collections of multimedia content.
The more content is made, the harder it is to locate, and the more time and money is wasted searching but not finding.
In this course you’ll learn from a leading keywording consultant about how to create and apply keywords effectively. This course will take away the guesswork, providing an actionable plan for you to put into practise immediately.
You will acquire a broad high level understanding of what keywording is, why it is important and how it is used.
You will also learn about the key principles of keywording and how to apply them.
Beyond this, you will discover how to keyword creative imagery using conceptual terms that can often leave you lost for words!
This course starts with an introduction to keywording and works through a series of related themes and topics to expand and consolidate your learning. Your learning is underpinned through theoretical and contextual background.
You will then start to piece together the key elements of this as it applies to client case studies and learnings from real-life keywording consultancy briefs.
The course is delivered in the form of video presentation, including online examples from web and social media platforms implementing keywording.
The format is designed to illustrate the keywording process in an engaging and informative way.
A PDF checklist will be provided upon completion of the course.
There are also keywording exercises available for you to complete yourself.

How does an introvert lead? Introverts don’t fit the stereotypical leadership model in management literature. They’re often unaware of their introvert strengths and how to maximize them in the workplace, much less become leaders. However, Cain, Laney, Kahnweiler, and others have increased our understanding of introversion and how it impacts leadership styles.
