Digital literacy can involve workplace equipment – e.g. electronic surveying or tracking systems; stock control, point of sale or measuring devices; calculators. Some students need to learn or set things up from scratch. Others want to master a certain function only. Everyone has specific learning needs and goals. ALNS explore these things with you to ensure you learn effectively.
Computer/Digital literacy sessions require learners to bring their own device and activate their own hotspot. Fran has a tablet to show you how to do things. Access to a library or workplace computer may be required.
