Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to enable students to use information technologies effectively, to exist safely and ethically in the digital environment, and to increase their digital productivity by consciously using contemporary artificial intelligence tools.

Course Content

In this course, students begin their education with topics such as computer hardware, operating systems, office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), internet browsers, and cloud systems, which are the fundamental components of information technologies. Subsequently, topics within the framework of digital literacy include accessing online information, digital citizenship, media literacy, social media use, data privacy, cybersecurity, and ethical digital behavior. In the second half of the course, text, images, presentations, and data production are conducted using AI-based applications (such as ChatGPT, DALL•E, Copilot, Gemini, and Canva AI). Topics include prompt engineering, content validation, and AI ethics. This allows students to develop their individual and academic digital productivity, acquiring the holistic skills required for the digital age.
