The Digital Literacy - Self-paced class teaches many different digital literacy skill topics in within three main areas: Essential Computer Skills, Essential Software Skills, and Using Technology in Daily Life. Students choose the topic(s) they wish to learn and they complete many online lessons and tutorials with help from the instructor to pass assessments at Northstar Digital Literacy. This class allows students to work at their own pace and attend class when able.
All classes that I teach at Berkeley Adult School are taught in a HyFlex format. That means that a student can attend in-person or online via Zoom. Students can choose how they attend each session. Thus, one day they can attend via Zoom and a different day come in-person. If need help with Zoom, here are a couple of resources a Zoom Quick Reference Guide, and the Zoom Screen graphic.
