Course objectives
Are you one of students who are surrounded by online applications, modern technologies and their various tweaks, but do you need to be better oriented to serve you, not to be their servants? Or do you still refuse modern technology so far, but how do you use it for everyday life and study or work? A new course MUNI is intended for both categories of students. The content of the course complements the 21st century student curriculum with the necessary competency framework. Its goal is to provide students with a theoretical and practical basis that will enable them to use modern technology efficiently and routinely for routine activities of their lives and to think critically about technologies.
