Computer and Technology Lessons from DigitalLearn and GCFGlobal Added to Open Space

Author // INFOhio Staff Wednesday, 17 April 2024

Instructional materials from DigitalLearn and GCFGlobal have been added to Open Space. Both platforms feature beginner and intermediate lessons on a wide range of technology topics such as using a keyboard and mouse, navigating and searching the web, and accounts and passwords. The 31 lessons from DigitalLearn also include topics like building a resume and creating a basic budget while the 148 items from GCFGlobal include tutorials to popular software and apps and English and math lessons. All lessons are self-paced and can be used in the classroom or as professional development.

In the lesson Search Better from GCFGlobal, learners are presented with three mini lessons that include text, video, graphics, and interactives. For example, in the image below, an interactive image is included in this lesson that provides pop-up windows of information when the learner clicks different parts of the sample search results. In addition to mini lessons, there is also a quiz to check for understanding.
