Information and communications technology 4100-1STIKO
The course is dedicated to students, future foreign language teachers, who would like to use successfully innovative forms, methods and tools in self-teaching, especially in foreign language acquisition.
The term digital competences in the sense of understanding and using digital media was used for the first time in 1997 by Paul Gilster during a period of intensive discussions devoted to visual literacy and the ability to use technology, computer and information. In 2006, it was popularized by the European Commission as one of the so-called 8 key competences. In the contemporary, multimodal context digital competences (IT, information, communication) refer to such skills that enable conscious and effective use of digital media and active participation in the information society.
The term ‘digital literacy’ in the sense of understanding and using digital information was defined for the first time by Paul Gilster in 1997, during a period of intensive discussion on visual literacy and on the ability to use technology, computers, and information. In 2006 it was popularized by the European Council as one of eight so-called key competencies.
The syllabus comprises both cognitive elements and practical skills connected with developing digital competences. It also enables students to understand the social context, which has been influenced by technology, inspires them to perceive the world through technology and encourages creative thinking and co-operation. It includes the following topics in particular:
1. Learning management systems and remote work software (for instance Moodle, Google Workspace, Zoom, Trello)
2. critical reception and creation of multimodal forms of expression on the academic level and as a didactic material (verbal and non-verbal: essays, presentations, infographics, video clips, podcasts, bog data visualisation, games etc.)
3. collecting, processing, managing, sharing and critical assessment of information
4. identifying the copyright status of contents and conscious use of open licenses
5. formal and informal learning in the virtual environment
6. using tools and research methods based on information technologies
7. using tools and research methods based on information technologies
8. using open educational resources and massive open online courses (MOOCs)
9. artificial intelligence in learning and teaching
During the classes, students will have the opportunity to create their e-portfolios and to experiment with creative tools: tools for creating your digital content, graphics, audio and video editors, web 2.0 tools, including mobile applications for smartphones and tablets, as well as office programs. The following issues will be raised: privacy and safety online, the role of self-teaching in the digital age and autonomy in choosing the learning environment.

Assessment criteria
The method of verifying learning outcomes may change before the start of the course due to the possibility of participants using artificial intelligence tools, such as Chat GPT, to create coursework. Changes will be announced to students at the first classes of the winter semester 2024/25.
The preferred teaching methods are: learning through action, project implementation, problem teaching, and so-called flipped classroom. The course is stationary with an online element. This means that it is conducted on-site - in a computer laboratory - using a virtual learning environment, containing, among others, materials for self-study (instructions, video tutorials, presentations, scientific articles) on a dedicated remote learning platform (Moodle or alternative).
The condition for passing is to score more than 60% of points for projects timely placed on the platform and for projects carried out during stationary classes.
Final assessment criteria: Below 60 - 2.0 60-68 - 3.0 69-78 - 3.5 79-88 - 4.0 89-96 – 4.5 Above 97 – 5.0
The following are subject to assessment:
preparation of projects and tasks (originality, quality, concept, compliance with assumptions) - 50%
active participation in classes, including a presentation illustrated with a presentation on a selected topic - 50%.
One unjustified absence per semester is allowed.
Practical placement
no
