In today's world, where technology opens up new opportunities to improve people's quality of life, digital literacy has become an essential part of our lives. Digital literacy helps individuals to remain competitive in the labor market and work efficiently with innovative technologies. Integrating digital literacy into educational programs helps people adapt to the challenges of the digital world, enabling them to succeed in both their personal and professional lives.
At Auezov South Kazakhstan University, the Centre for Continuing Education is actively working to improve the digital skills of faculty members and the quality of training for future specialists. As part of the university's 2020-2024 strategic development plan, a three-stage professional development course titled "Digital Literacy and Online Teaching Methodology" was organized, through which 224 teachers advanced their qualifications.
This program continues this academic year.
From October 21 to November 1, 2024, the first stage took place with 50 teachers participating. During the course, they received training in topics such as using the integrated university management system, scheduling course assignments, developing rankings, validating exam questions, configuring key features of smart systems, and more.
In the future, additional courses will be organized according to department requests, and we will continue improving teachers’ skills.
