EdTech: Digital problem-solving skills
Digital technologies don't always work as they should - one of the few areas in the controlled environment of education institutions where something failing to do what you expect can be quite normal.
Learners need to move from relying on teachers and technical support staff for solutions to being able to deal with problems for themselves. Developing independence in practical problems is an important life skill and essential for employment.
This module looks at the different types of problems that can arise and the various ways in which learners can resolve them independently - and be encouraged to recognise when it really is best to down tools and seek help.
Aim
This module introduces the basics of supporting learners to solve problems using digital technologies.
Objective
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- Categorise the problems that may arise during learners’ use of digital tools and media
- Define the skillset required by learners to resolve them
- Demonstrate to learners the importance of this skillset for future employment

Good, but quite simplistic.
Very useful.
Good
I have basic IT Skills that enables me to problem solve an IT issue but I have colleagues and IT support also
.
Good quality, short and smart interactive contents.
Technology not working seems to be the biggest barrier to adopting digital methods in TLA.
Okay for knowing about problem solving skills and how to address them with the learners.
I need to read the questions better before answering :-D
So true: '[d]eveloping independence in practical problems is an important life skill and essential for employment'.
