Tips and instructions for reading

Welcome to the Student’s digital skills course learning material! The material has been divided into sections which you can browse either through the menu at the top or the menu on the left, which displays the currently opened sub-section. The sections and their learning goals are presented on the front page.

Please note that you do not need to read everything! If you already have a solid grasp on the contents of a section, and have received a good score on the entry-level exam, feel free to move on!

Links

The material contains many links, both internal to the material and links that lead to other web sites. The internal links mostly open inside the same window. The links that lead to other sites open into a new tab or new window, depending on the settings of your browser.

The information behind the links is mainly supplementary, and can be useful for those looking for extra information. As such, you should not let them disturb your reading experience if you want to focus on reading the learning material from start to finish!
