Digital skills – Online Courses
Setting your own pace of learning, studying whenever and wherever you prefer, repeating a unit until you take it all in – all this is possible with our online digital skills courses. The concepts and terms in the courses are conveyed in the form of videos, short texts and various interactive quizzes. The courses are available in Stud.IP/ILIAS and are aimed at both beginners and slightly advanced students. Each course is divided into several chapters and can be completed in just about 2 hours. At the end of each course, you have the possibility to take a final test and receive a confirmation of participation.
These self-study courses were developed in cooperation with the project "Digital Skills for Students" by the Göttingen State and University Library. We have also put together a list of further online courses for you.
