Bespoke Digital Skills courses
It can be tricky to identify exactly what digital skills groups and individuals need to work on, especially in the ever-evolving world of cloud and app-based computing. Often, off-the-shelf courses waste time covering learning that is irrelevant to learners. Our tutors are experienced in working together with learners to identify learning needs, and developing bespoke courses in response to learner needs and desires. Courses can include the following elements:
- Basic MS 365 skills, including Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams
- Video calls for work, learning and fun
- Introduction to the Online Learning and the Virtual Learning Environment (we use Canvas, which is used by many colleges and universities in Scotland, including City of Glasgow College, Glasgow Clyde College, Queen Margaret University, Herriot Watt and Stirling University).
- Intro to tablets
- Apps for everyday life: exploring apps for utilities, shopping, health etc.
