- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
Let's discuss data access.
In the Google Drive provided, you'll find a folder titled "ON BOARDING NEW HIRES" containing a document offering a high-level summary of the project. The Drive is structured to accommodate various folders with all necessary project information.
All team members have access to the Riipen portal. While I'm not fully familiar with its capabilities, most communications will occur there to align with the terms and conditions of the student program. Please ensure you understand your responsibilities within that environment.
If you require assistance with file compression and purchasing software isn't feasible, we can explore options for handling it internally using our office PCs and servers. As this project is a team effort, I rely on you to communicate your needs, and together, we'll address any challenges that arise.
I pride myself on being detail-oriented and organized, and I expect the same from those I work with. Since you're providing a valuable service, I'm committed to ensuring the project runs smoothly and will do everything possible to support your needs.

- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
To excel in developing a social media project, students would benefit greatly from a diverse set of skills and technological knowledge.
Firstly, proficiency in graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop or Canva is essential for creating visually appealing content that captures users' attention.
Additionally, a strong grasp of copywriting and content creation techniques is crucial for crafting engaging captions and posts that resonate with the target audience. Understanding social media analytics tools like Google Analytics or Facebook Insights enables students to track the performance of their posts and make data-driven decisions to optimize their strategy.
Furthermore, knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO) principles can help students ensure their content is discoverable and ranks well on social media platforms. Familiarity with emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) can also give students a competitive edge in creating innovative and immersive social media experiences.
Finally, effective communication and collaboration skills are essential for working within a team and coordinating efforts to execute the project successfully. By combining these skills and technological know-how, students can navigate the complexities of social media development and create impactful and influential online presences.
Also it would be very helpful if you understand how to organize media with the following :
1. Naming conventions
2. tracking and documenting all facets of the editing process including fonts, hashtags, images, links etc.
3. understanding the different platform formats and the data organization that comes with posting to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter
4. designing efficient file folder templates to track information before uploading to the platforms
