Computer / Digital Literacy

Using computers and digital technology involves a number of skills like logging on; reading, spelling, typing; and using email or other apps and programs.  Fran is well-versed in these areas as well as spread sheets and databases. She has also helped executives develop their reporting and analytical abilities. 

ALNS helps people build digital, computer and technological literacy in the following ways:

  • basic computer use (logging on, using email, creating accounts, etc)
  • using devices (phones, tablets, etc)
  • using other technology (e.g. ticketing machines, digital equipment, gauges)
  • finding, loading and using apps
  • word processing in Microsoft [MS] Word
  • spread sheet skills in MS Excel
  • developing presentations in MS Powerpoint
  • developing & maintaining databases
  • developing & maintaining websites in WordPress
  • developing electronic templates & standard forms
  • creating electronic filing systems, back-ups, etc

Digital literacy isn’t just about computers. It can involve mobile phones, tablets and iPads; GPS systems; stock control, point of sale or measuring devices; calculators….  Any type of equipment.  Some people need to set things up from scratch.  Everyone has specific objectives.  We explore this to ensure that you learn what, how and when you need to.

Computer/Digital literacy sessions require learners to bring their device and activate their hotspot.  Fran has a tablet to show you how to do things.  Access to a library or workplace computer may be required.
