I teach a course called Cultural Perspectives, which is basically an introduction to critical theory for creative media students. As part of the assessment, students are asked to create some media content that explores one of the critical themes covered in the syllabus and then publish their media content online. This is a list I curated for my students. It features online locations where you can publish and share creative content. Suggestions or additions are welcome.
