The elements of online communication

First posting in a series describing the use of various elements in online communication.

All online communication, whether that’s published content, live online events or social media, make use of the same key media elements:

  1. Text
  2. Audio
  3. Images
  4. Animation
  5. Video

The online communicator needs to know when to use each of these elements and how, and in what combinations. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be exploring these elements to try and shed some light on these issues. The first posting looks at text.
I’ve now supplemented this series of postings with an online media history.
