ICDL Insights

Digital understanding for non IT Professionals, interested in gaining an understanding of new and emerging technologies

Organisations are being exposed to an increasingly dynamic and fast-paced technology landscape. Service providers and consultants, the media, and policy makers are constantly promoting or discussing emerging technologies that may have a substantial – and systemic – impact on our economies and societies. As individuals and as employees, we need to be informed about what technologies are likely to have the most impact, as well as their underlying concepts and potential. This will help us to be informed – and will help our organisations make informed choices.

Designed to address the requirement for current and future business managers to develop an understanding of trending and emerging technology, ICDL Insights offers overview modules that are contextualised in a practical way. These short, introductory modules provide the conceptual understanding to allow managers who are not IT professionals to consider the potential of technology and have informed conversations with IT professionals or specialists.

The syllabus content of each module is supported by high-quality eLearning materials which establish core concepts, give practical examples of implementation, and provide opportunities for reflection. Together with a short certification test, this learning can provide an excellent opportunity either to develop relevant competences for future career development, or to contribute to continuous professional development.
