Course information

Contents
Participants learn to navigate digital user interfaces (e.g., operating touch screens, opening and closing apps, internet browsers).

They learn about the keyboard and basic key functions. They write and save simple messages.

They find everyday and work-related information on the internet and gain initial experience with online portals and apps (e.g., job portals, forms, SBB, LinkedIn, Google Maps) as well as with video conferencing systems.

In parallel, they develop the necessary basic vocabulary in a targeted and well-founded manner for competent use of information and communication technologies.
Goals
Participants acquire everyday and work-related basic digital skills. The aim is to prepare participants for the demands of the digital world and to support them in using digital devices. This is achieved by familiarising them with digital devices and teaching or further developing their skills in using common programs such as email, apps and the internet. They also address data protection and privacy. At the same time, they acquire the relevant vocabulary.
