Embedded Files
Digital learning resources support introductory learning. Topics address the foundational digital skills and knowledge needed for
Learning (e.g. participation in a literacy program, secondary and postsecondary education, understanding misinformation)
Work (e.g. searching for and applying for jobs online, basic knowledge of computers and the internet to support more targeted workplace uses) and
Life (e.g. everyday communication, security, information searching and organization, productivity at home).
The topics are divided into four categories. The resources use various formats such as slides, videos, websites, interactive modules and SCROM files for an LMS). Whenever possible, we feature online and interactive formats rather than more static PDFs.
