Digital & Tech Literacy is AIIT’s entry-point free course, designed for students who are new to computers, the internet, cloud computing, or artificial intelligence. There are no prerequisites. By the end of this course, students will be comfortable using a computer confidently, understand what “the cloud” actually means, and understand what AI is and how it affects daily life.
This course is intentionally the first step in the AIIT learning journey — it prepares students for our paid Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence tracks by building the foundational vocabulary and confidence needed to succeed in those programs.
