Abstract

In many scopes of human activities, both personal and professional, new digital tasks are emerging every day. The new educational module “Digital Culture” at ITMO University aims at building digital competencies of university students, both bachelors and masters, that is to teach students the existing approaches and methods of tasks solving, as well as to show them data processing and analysis techniques to implement in the future in their professional fields. Apart from conducting data analysis, the graduates are supposed to know how to interpret the obtained results correctly and how to navigate in the digital space easily. The disciplines of the first two years of study have been already introduced in the educational process of ITMO University both in bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes. This paper presents the curriculum content, the learning method and the results of the first years of the educational module. The disciplines of the module received positive feedback from both students and external experts in the intercollegiate seminars on digital education.
