Digital literacy pulls back the curtain of how computers and technology work, and you’ll learn the skills necessary to learn and work in areas where communication and access to information are through digital technologies like internet platforms, social media, mobile devices, and more. Digital literacy classes also explore the fundamentals of software and hardware while giving you an overview of digital machines, how programs and data work, and the similarities and differences of popular programming languages like Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
