The module certificate deals with digitalization from the perspective of the individual. The aim of the module certificate is to introduce the basic concepts of digitalization and digital transformation. In addition to the basic concepts, the module certificate deals with the various aspects of digitalization in four thematic blocks: Digitalization from the perspective of the individual as such, as a social being, as a citizen and as a customer. This includes topics such as data protection and ethical issues, acceptance and use of technology, digitalization in healthcare, social media, e-government, sustainability, sharing economy and e-commerce. A central aspect of the course is the critical reflection of the positive and negative aspects of digitalization, especially its impact on the individual, in the context of organizations and society.
The course is supplemented by a capstone project in which students apply the lecture content to current topics of digitalization. In doing so, students critically examine current issues relating to digitalization and are able to present their thoughts in writing.
The certificate is offered in English.
