    Guessing here, but I'd say at the end you should know:
    1. applications of digital media (presume this has to do with marketing and eye-catchiness on the 'net with regard to pacing gif's and such)
    2. how to program flash.
    3. something about SQL, HTML, and a little CSS. Maybe some XML, javascript, AJAX, perl CGI and/or PHP.
    4. QuarkExpress/Adobe InDesign.
    5. The technical writing part probably refers to documentation of standard practices and in-house rules for coding/marketing/layouts that you may have to or want to apply in a job place.

    Does that help at all?
    Google the phrases you don't understand and the course should at the very least include some of the more popular topics/items that would be of use to you in the working work. It is an applied course after all. You won't just be learning theory for research purposes.
