Annotation
The course is aimed at students who want to gain an understanding of IT technologies. Students will acquire multiple badges and certificates that allow them to communicate their knowledge and skills. The course focuses on the roles of project managers, business analysts, and practically anyone interested in working in companies utilizing IT. The course utilizes online modules and platforms from various providers. Advanced students will have the opportunity to tailor their studies by delving into more advanced topics. The majority of the instruction takes place through guided self-study. Limited in-person meetings will be conducted during the semester to share progress. The course instruction is in English (as the tools are in English), and improving professional language skills will be an additional benefit of the course. Tools from areas such as Low code/no code, data manipulation, methods of work automation, fundamentals of artificial intelligence/machine learning, project management tools, prototyping, remote collaboration tools, and more will be covered during the course. Students can take the course repeatedly, in such a case will get deeper into advanced topics.
