Communities in various City of Joburg Libraries are getting exposed to digital skills through mobile e-learning classroom sessions for unemployed youth and senior citizens. Digital literacy has become an important literacy not only for accessing quality education and opportunities in the digital economy, but it empowers communities to understand online content, and different technologies and to become smart citizens. The digital literacy program started in 2016 with Elearning classrooms in selected libraries providing access to online courses. Post Covid19 pandemic our elearning services, with very limited resources, reactivated the digital literacy programme as part of digital transformation in libraries to embrace the new way of working and learning where people were forced to interact with technology more than ever for online transactions, online learning, and work.
Our website provides access to free online courses with free certificates from Microsoft for basic and intermediate digital skills for youth and adults. Over 400 youth and adults have registered for these courses.
The Senior Citizens programme, which started in Murray Park Library in 2018 and resulted in a book published with a collection of stories by the Seniors from the computer lessons class, has grown and expanded through outreach to more libraries and old age homes.
