New! Digital Skills eLearning modules

,
Learning online

A new suite of free-to-access ‘bitesize’ digital skills eLearning modules is now available, in line with the Digital Skills Framework.

The modules are designed to support people working in adult social care to gain knowledge and understanding on how digital, data and technology is used in the sector.

The titles and themes of these seven modules are:

  • using technology to support person-centred care
  • technical skills in using technology
  • communicating through technology
  • using and managing data
  • being safe and secure online
  • ethical use of technology
  • digital learning, development and wellbeing.

Each module has a set of three learning chapters and objectives and can be accessed free-of-charge through Skills for Care’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
