One of the most useful things I took away was how to create interactive graphics and videos to engage my audience. The course was pretty comprehensive, but I felt like some of the topics could have been explored in more depth. Still, I'm glad I took the course, and I feel like it's helped me to improve my skills as a science journalist.

The Professional Certificate in Digital Transformation for Science Journalists was a great course that helped me to develop my skills in digital journalism. I appreciated the detailed explanations of the course concepts and the examples of how to apply them in real-world scenarios. One of the things that I found most useful was the section on search engine optimization (SEO) and how to use it to increase the visibility of my articles. The instructors were also very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies from different regions, as I felt like the course was a bit biased towards European and North American examples. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to others.
