The very word "digital" has acquired a status that far exceeds its humble dictionary definition. Even the prefix digital, when associ ated with familiar sectors such as radio, television, photography and telecommunications, has reinvented these industries, and provided a unique opportunity to refresh them with new start-up companies, equipment, personnel, training and working practices - all of which are vital to modern national and international economies. The last century was a period in which new media stimulated new job opportunities, and in many cases created totally new sectors: video competed with film, CDs transformed LPs, and computer graphics threatened traditional graphic design sectors. Today, even the need for a physical medium is in question. The virtual digital domain allows the capture, processing, transmission, storage, retrieval and display of text, images, audio and animation without familiar materials such as paper, celluloid, magnetic tape and plastic. But moving from these media to the digital domain intro duces all sorts of problems, such as the conversion of analog archives, multimedia databases, content-based retrieval and the design of new content that exploits the benefits offered by digital systems. It is this issue of digital content creation that we address in this book. Authors from around the world were invited to comment on different aspects of digital content creation, and their contributions form the 23 chapters of this volume.

The formative role played by digital communication in knowledge-based societies is widely acknowledged. Not least, young people's rapid adoption of a variety of social software applications serves to challenge existing forms of communication for learning, since these innovations allow and assume users' own creation, sharing, and editing of content. This volume presents advanced research on digital content creation, its socio-cultural contexts, and educational consequences. In the midst of ubiquitous commercial hype about digital innovation, as well as policy concerns, the volume offers the sobering perspectives of theory-driven empirical research, in order to examine the complexities, highlight the nuances, and illuminate the pedagogical affordances of creative digital contents. This book brings together the work of an international group of scholars from a range of disciplines including media and ICT studies, education, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.

Getting started in content creation can invoke many juxtaposing emotions, like excitement and happiness to fear and disappointment. This guide surfaces free tools and startup steps to jump quickly through learning how to get things done and hop straight into the creative process. Knowing how to begin is sometimes just the right motivation for getting passed the question, “Where do I start?” Please understand that these tools will not help to answer the question of “Why am I creating?” This information will be most effective if you’ve taken the time to identify why you want to create and what you will create. Knowing those two things prior to deciding how to get things done will make this guide much more useful. If you need help answering these two fundamental pillars, I’d suggest taking a look at my eBook Next Steps: Approaching Content Creation Strategically. Beyond that, the tools recommended therein were selected specifically for their usefulness and being free of charge. Of course, there are other resources and tools available outside those included here, some at a cost, and I would encourage you to explore them in your creator journey to find if any can add value to your specific process. However, to help you reach that stage and beyond, this guide is an excellent collection by which to begin.
