Long-distance education provider Intec College has introduced South Africa's first e-Citizen course to equip students new to the Internet with the tools they need to optimise their online experience and expertise.
Of course there are literally gazillions of free online courses for every skill you coud possibly need and if you have a lateral mind like mine you'll be happy to muddle along and learn as you go.
But a structured course like this is maybe the way to go, especailly for businesses and organisations where time is of the essence and also for older people who are not as comfortable with computers as the younger generation.
It will probably be easier for many people to learn in a more familiar and formal way.
Intec's e–Citizen is the new end-user computer skills course from the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) Foundation. The course is designed to cater for those with a limited knowledge of computers and the Internet. The e–Citizen course will develop your skills and knowledge, which will enable you to use the computer and Internet more effectively.
"The Internet's latest evolution, Web 2.0, has allowed web content to be generated by ordinary web users through 'do-it-yourself' tools like blogging and podcasting. It has seen the importance of the Internet grow rapidly," says Phillip Slatter, Intec's business and computer school manager.
More and more services are being administered online, he says. "Internet navigation and operation have become essential rather than 'nice-to-have' skills and to make full use of the web's potential, a well-structured course is vital. "Many of our student enquirers have expressed interest in learning how to make the most of tools like e-banking, shopping online, blogging, podcasts or uploading content. We took their needs into account
So go to Intec and see wha it is all about.
