Interested people can register at this link on the official website: https://www.universidadveranomaspalomas.org/materias/125/. The Course will be taught by three expert speakers in communication and New Technologies, who will teach the subjects and answer all questions. It is recommended to attend classes with your own device (mobile phones, tablets and computers) so that you can learn to use them easily.
“With this training we want to combat the digital divide that exists, bringing new technologies closer to generations that were not born with these advances,” commented Iris Rivero, expert in New technologies. “People of all levels can attend, even those who are starting from scratch in these subjects.”
In this way, students will be able to more easily carry out many tasks that today are only offered through digital resources, such as making an appointment at the Canarian Employment Service or Social Security, or knowing how to get to an address using Google Maps, knowing at the same time the bus itineraries and the different possible routes.
The other two speakers of the course are Luis Aymerich and Diana Martín, who have proven experience in the digital world and new information technologies, as well as in teaching.
