The Digital Media curriculum provided by ExplorNet is designed to develop knowledge and skill and allow students to obtain up to five industry-recognized certifications.  The Adobe Certified Associate certifications are: Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign; Dreamweaver; and Premiere Pro.  Students can gain experience working with industry-standard software and technology in order to succeed in the digital workplace. ​ 

ExplorNet works with educators and industry professionals to provide teacher training to become endorsed to teach the curriculum, the course blueprint, curricular resources for both the teacher and the student, a classroom bank of test items, and the secure bank of test items used on the final assessment. As technologies and software advance in the industry, ExplorNet also updates and maintains the course materials to reflect what students will experience when they enter the workforce.

The DM program is currently structured and sequenced into two course offerings:

• Digital Media 1 – students are exposed to a wide variety of digital media concepts in the areas of graphic design, animation, audio and video production, and web design, demonstrating how all pieces of this industry fit together as well as allowing students to determine where their interests lie.
  
  

• Digital Media 2 – the generalized concepts learned in Digital Media are taught with greater depth while emphasis is placed on application of skill using the industry-standard software. Students in this course also create portfolios of their digital creations that showcase their work and provide them with a viable tool to demonstrate their abilities to prospective employers

ExplorNet is responsible for the professional development required by NCDPI to add the Digital Media program area  (ExplorNet's Digital Media and/or the Adobe Academy - Visual Design, Digital Design, Digital Video) endorsement to a North Carolina teaching license. Teachers  will receive 4 days of focused preparation.  All of the software required to teach this course will be learned during this training. In addition to learning curriculum and instruction, they will learn to use our accompanying Moodle system effectively in their classroom.  Moodle provides all teaching resources as well as student resources which negates the need for expensive textbooks for each student. 

Upcoming DM Training

Teacher training for potential and current DM instructors will be scheduled as interest and participants grow, but we normally offer the training during the summer months.
