Course objectives
Digital competences are essential for life in contemporary society. They are a prerequisite for study, civic activism, access to work or culture, for secure communication through the Internet, etc. The course tries to describe these competencies (according to the European Reference Framework) and offer them both a theoretical and a mostly practical perspective. The course aims to develop the ability of every individual with digital competences to practically handle, but also to think about them critically.
The aim of the course is to show the broader context of digital competences. We start from DigComp, which defines five areas of competence within which each citizen should develop. It tries to show how individual competences influence and change the information society and what impact their development or absence can have. At the same time, they also seek to deepen them in practice.
