DIHB001 Ключови умения в дигиталната епоха (Key Competencies in a Digital Age)

Анотация:

The course is practically oriented and sets an application purpose to introduce the students in key competencies related to communication strategies concerning digital technologies facilitating visual access on arts and humanities and bringing an added value for attractive work opportunities on the global markets. The course acquaints the students with the radical social and psychological changes following the global trends of development of the information society and the overall use of social media as a business instrument within the framework of the so called Facebook technology as a “best practice” on the market.

Comparing web based communication strategies already time-tested and with prospects for the future the course will initiate students in the processes of participatory learning and collaborative working focused on virtual environments and animation instruments to simplify the visual access of the essentials which brings a good advantage for professional career perspectives.

The lectures concern the acknowledging of typical situations with interactive instruments of social media and follow the actual ICT and EU standards as well the sensitive requirements of social intelligence in the information society.

The discussed case solutions and the applied theoretical essentials are based on lecturer’s research and teaching activities at the Universities of Freiburg, Jena, Erfurt, Leipzig (1996-2009) and his collaborative project with students of the University of Western Sydney as well as on his working experience as a consultant of the German Postbank (2004-2009) and communication expert in Bulgaria (2009-2012).

Methodologically the course will follow an associative question and answer scenario with multimedia presentations of discussing the key concerns of ICT instruments. The discussions with the students will show how the intuitive internalization of soft skills to persuade are applicable for a better positioning on recently emerging segments of the market and finding solutions in problematic cases. Being aware of some social roles and communication techniques will bring them to face the professional challenges of a mobile world.

During the teaching process the lecturer communicates with the students via email, Moodle (the NBU electronic repository with lecturing stuff is exposed online), Facebook, Twitter, YouTube (materials and discussions) and Dropbox (for file sharing up to 2 GB). Google Docs will give an additional opportunity to the students to share and synchronize project materials together.
