Digital Literacy for Graduate Students

With the realization that computers have diverse impacts across several academic and professional domains, the course was designed as a set of Modules. What constitutes digital literacy varies from person to person. In order to be deemed "Digitally literate," a person must reach the level of literacy they desire in relation to their academic field of view, professional requirements, or personal objectives through the use of digital resources and computer skills. "on the spot" or practical assignments involving computers will be highly valued in this course. Within the course, there will be incorporation of computer applications and other computer studies aspects. 

The goal of this course is to equip Graduate students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively, efficiently, and ethically use and apply Digital technologies, such as computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. More people use sophisticated technologies particularly now than in the past, and their application keeps growing. Human activity is being greatly enhanced and altered by information and communications technology (ICT), which is allowing us to live, work, and think in ways that most of us never would have imagined possible. Graduate students will actively investigate the core ideas, experience, aptitudes, and dispositions for utilizing technology in a variety of contexts, which involves the classroom as well as exterior of it. Through the effective use of technology tools and resources, they will also learn how to develop skills like collaboration, higher-order thinking, problem solving, and self-direction, enabling them to be lifelong learners in the information age.
