Opptak til studiet.

Digital competence is a key factor in ensuring the employability of candidates in all professions vital to our society. This course will provide a fundamental understanding of some of the most important concepts, tools and technologies that comprise and influence our increasingly digital world. It gives an overview of how technology affects our lives, our social structures, the way we work and provides grounding for actively engaging with and shaping the development and role of technology in society. Social media, digital governance, eHealth and the explosion of AI applications are all examples of how technology has profoundly changed our everyday lives in the last few decades. An understanding of technology is vital in any profession, regardless of field or specialty. In this course, students will acquire the basic knowledge required to harness the potential of technology and identify the opportunities to use technology to foster inclusion and participation in an increasingly diverse and multicultural society. They will also learn to recognize its limitations and potentially harmful consequences on work and society, and grapple with the social, ethical and moral issues that arise as technology becomes both increasingly complex and integral to the way our society functions.
