Programme

The objective of the course is to acquire tools and analysis skills aimed, in particular, at the use of new IT tools. Today, all IT tools are central to many activities and digital "models" are increasingly confirming themselves as indispensable elements in modern society.
A first point of reference for us in this course is that offered by the AICA, with the best-known ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence).
In fact, some of the topics will focus on the need to contextualize training starting from the basics, thus starting to understand the ways in which digital machines work, their way of processing, storing and producing useful results. Alongside this, we will focus on other, more specific aspects, delving into the characteristics of IT tools and their ability to integrate into modern society, characterized by increasingly current and inevitable elements, such as, for example:
mobility - and hence the importance of building "responsive" content, capable of adapting to the different tools of use (smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc.);
the importance of continuous training, aimed at combating digital illiteracy (we will delve deeper into this aspect), the digital divide, etc.;
Internet (from web 1.0 to web 2.0), the cloud, security (malware, privacy), ML (machine learning);
the advent of digital in society, in its various articulations and its effects (social, work, economic).
