The demands of today’s technology-driven world present a challenge to the Caribbean to invest in relevant development of its human resources. The Caribbean Examination Council (CXC), in response to this challenge, is launching the first CAPE Digital Media Syllabus to give students across the region the opportunity to develop skillsets necessary to create digital content and master digital media.
We live in a world increasingly dominated by digital content. Television broadcasts are giving way to online videos. The publishing industry is being redefined by electronic books and websites. Mobile apps have transformed how people interact with their phones. The media, entertainment and creative arts industries have been totally revolutionised by the Internet, digital music, photography, videos, graphics and animation. The global public's appetite for digital content seems insatiable. As a region, the Caribbean's appetite is no less voracious.
