Research on Knowledge Competencies for Digital Media Design

Abstract

The paper identifies and analyses the factors and characteristics of human thinking structure based on the background training, and work field. We propose the conceptual graph to represent the Knowledge Competencies (KC) for the specific area of Digital Media Design. The scope of the Knowledge Competencies is represented visually using graphs, illustrating the relevance of different subjects to Digital Media Design. The paper provides a reference basis for learners and scholars in the general area of Digital Media Design, and thereby promote the new interdisciplinary area of Digital Media Design. The paper finally uses a case study to evaluate the knowledge requirements of Digital Media Design for different subject areas.
