Dos und Don´ts
Digital
Format Development
DOS for a digital format development
Goals and target groups
2
1
3
Define your target group specifically and think about your process, starting with the target group
Define your learning goals and check in regularly during your educational process
your content has to fit into the digital space, don´t make it fit
Goals and target groups

4
6
Pay attention to diversity and different perspectives - already when assembling the development, editorial and production team
If you want to work digitally, move towards non-lineal, participatory and interactive activities (it´s not you who decides what comes next, but your audience)
Prioritize audioquality and visual quality - those are more important in the digital space and decide, whether your target group will interact with your material.

DOS for a digital format development
1
Sustainability
2
Decide if you use Open Source Software or propriatory services (open source gives access and control over your data, but can be challenging because of own hosting; propriatory services can disappear
3
Decide, according to your goals and ressources, if your project is stand alone or accompanied
Public money, Public good - Openess and digital belong together and create sustainability - if possible, use and produce open source and open content
4
Decide, whether your product is single -or multiplayer (Multiplayer projects need server-client connections, so others know what you are doing online)

3
Think from the end - What happens to the content and the formats when the project ends? (service, updates etc.)
Calculate debugging and bug fixing and technical support for all digital formats straight from the start (starting with the techical moderation of video conferences)
Create feedback possibilities for content and the technology
4
Decide in the beginning important questions about data security, cyber security and privacy (openness vs. barriers, access restrictions, child protection)
Digital projects in the internet
Reflection and learning
DOS for a digital format development
2
1
Adjust your expectations about the learning goals to the used media (e.g. game based learning is a good method to get young people started with a topic, but the moment they understand the game mechanics, content might become secondary)
Decide, if you need additional, also analog methods, to ignite reflection about the learned content.
Reflection and learning
DON´TS for digital format development

1
3
Don´t start with the details.
Don´t start with the tool question or the platform question - content first, tools second
Never start without a (learning)goal
Don´ts for digital format
development

4
Don´t rely on one sole technical service - tools come and go, change pricing or their mechanics
testing, testing, testing - playtests with the target group are extremely important and should start as early as in the prototype phase
Don´ts for digital format
development
