The course “Women in the digital world” has been ongoing since fall 2022. In the course, participants receive guidance to increase their competence in digital communication, general computer use and proficiency in social media – where they actively take part in and responsibility for their own development.
Digital skills, ‘soft’ skills and language skills
In the course, participants can improve their digital skills and become confident in using basic ICT tools, such as using email and being able to create and participate in video meetings. Participants also receive training in digital skills related to personal finance.
Through social media, women gain access to information and larger networks. We go through the importance of privacy, safe usage, and source criticism.
Participants also become familiar with and develop ‘soft skills’ that will help them recognize their own strengths, limitations, motivation, interests and ambitions in relation to digital learning – but also in other various learning areas such as language and communication.
Using digital tools, participants learn correct pronunciation, helping them become more confident language users.
