Project: Teaching seniors to go digital
Students held online programmes to teach the seniors digital skills such as how to use social media apps, make cashless payments and be cyber safe. This included developing videos in English and Mandarin on how to use various apps. To develop useful content, a pre Service-Learning activity was conducted where students interviewed their grandparents and senior neighbours to find out more about the issues and challenges the elderly faces using the apps.
Module: Fundamentals for IT Professionals II
This module gives a course-based experience in which students can engage with the local community and industry. This includes participation in community service events or in Service-Learning projects that leverage students’ discipline knowledge and skills to meet identified needs. Through iterative and guided reflection on the service experience, students gain a broader appreciation of their discipline and an enhanced sense of personal voice, empathy and civic responsibility. Industry talks and seminars are organised to keep students up-to-date on emerging trends so as to build up their interpersonal, team and networking skills with the community and industry.
