BDW – Building a learning culture for the digital world

Why this app?

Today all students, from the very beginning of their studies, are immersed in a learning world that is more and more digitalised. Nevertheless, most of the time they are not taught how to deal with it safely and consciously. For this reason, students should be taught how to learn in the digital world and to become familiar with the concept of “digital information literacy”.

This stems from the belief that compulsory digital information literacy courses, designed according to a modern curriculum, should be given to all youth in the first year of each school.

What can I find in the app?
