On December 9th, 2009 will begin a new online course, one teaching concepts that every parent, teacher or other educator should know. The goal of the course, which doesn't require any specialistic knowledge, is to allow participants to really understand:
Main topics include, but are not limited to: democracy and active citizenship in the digital age, environmental impacts of computers and software, purely artificial barriers created through computers in economy, culture and education, impact of ICT on human rights.
The course teachers are Marco Fioretti and Paolo Brunello. The course is managed by VIS, an organization which already has a great experience in the distance training field.
The December 2009 edition of the course will only be held in Italian. If you're interested into an English edition or just want to get more information, please contact me (marco, at digifreedom.net).
