  • 1.  Status of Additional Updated Class Materiasl?

    Posted Jan 27, 2023 12:37 PM
    Hello,
    We are looking to continue our Digital Literacy series beyond the end of this grant period. It has been well-received and there is definite need in our community.
    I wonder if any additional classes will be updated in the near future?

    The Digitallearn materials were very easy to use and I won't lie that it would be much easier to get training materials from PLA than build my own.

    Thanks for your time,

    Hi Mary-Clare,
    Just wondering if you have any idea on the status of new class materials?
    I have joined Google as a partner and am looking to use some of their materials for Google apps classes, but am hopeful more will be coming from PLA and AT&T.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for asking this! I am also curious if there will be updated classes for Windows 11 or any of the current classes which have later versions available.

    Hi All!
    We are in the early development phase with a number of funders and hope to launch new modules and workshop materials later this year.

    What I can share is that a number of workshop materials are set to be posted this month on training.digitallearn.org. These were developed by the amazing team at Gail Borden Public Library District.

    • Building a PC Series
    • Coding Series
    • Computers 101 Series
    • Crafting a Cover Letter
    • Cut the Cable Cord
    • Cybersecurity
    • Device Maintenance
    • Google
    • Open Source Software Classes
    • Resume Essentials
    • Smartphone Photography Basics
    • VPN Basics
    • Windows 11

    I will let you know when those go live!
    Thanks,

    Hi Mary-Claire,

    Can you provide an update on when the new materials might be available for us to use? I have not seen them on DigitalLearn yet.
    Thanks!
