The Directorate of Education has defined five skill areas for digital competence. These are about being able to digitally use and understand, find and process, produce and process, communicate and interact, as well as exercising digital judgment. Here we highlight how Kakadu contributes to skills uplift based on these basic digital skills.
Learning to use and understand with Kakadu
Through educational measures and safe frameworks, Kakadu contributes to competence development through recipes based on familiar user patterns from the internet. The purpose is to teach users skills that they can apply to different websites as the same patterns often recur. Examples of user patterns Kakadu encourages its users to apply include menu structure, navigation with buttons, and the use of tabs. These elements are highlighted and designed in the easiest way possible in Kakadu. In this way, users will gradually learn digital structures they will encounter on the internet and will have to deal with.
To ensure that Kakadu hits the target audience and is a high-quality skill building tool, the content has been user tested for several rounds. What areas
is it necessary to develop skills to master? This has been, and will continue to be, necessary to identify for the best possible insight into what challenges users themselves are experiencing. User tests have also revealed which concepts are difficult to understand, but also which concepts they are confident in. There is a point that Kakadu downplays “technological language” to be as user-friendly as possible.
In order to provide the best possible skill building, Kakadu's digital pages are designed with the least amount of “unnecessary” content. It should be easy to focus on one task at a time. In order to be able to navigate smoothly in the interior, it is a point to give users a simple direction. In parallel, users encounter various pegs with guidance where necessary.
Learning to find and treat with Kakadu
Through the use of Kakadu one encounters information with a clear direction. Visual advances, in addition to large fonts and simple language are measures that will make it easy for the user to locate and be able to process the information they encounter. Access to explanations will be helpful if you are unsure. These explanations consist, for example, of what the user is portrayed for, who is the sender and how it works. In addition, the user is met with guidance along the way in the process. Where appropriate, there are several solutions to perform a digital task, based on what the user prefers.
Learning to manufacture and process with Kakadu
Employees who will use Kakadu to produce guidance materials will, in the face of a simple tool, be given an arena for training and road- wiring to those who need it. Kakadu will act as a resource to produce, further develop and reuse necessary content to develop a service for users. In this way, you will learn how to produce and process content with Kakadu, for the benefit of the company, the business, and the users for which it is intended.
Learning to communicate and interact with Kakadu
In the work with Kakadu, interaction as a concept has stood strong. The solution wants to enable seniors to take a bigger part in everyday life that is increasingly becoming more and more digitized. By teaching partially digital users how to effectively adopt online services, Kakadu wants to give them back control of everyday tasks. For the users themselves, of course, this is of extremely great value, but for society as a whole this will also strengthen democracy through interaction, communication and participation for all.
Learning to exercise digital judgment with Kakadu
Kakadu as a learning resource provides guidance in general digital navigation, network intelligence, judgment and online security. By developing user skills and a greater understanding of digital tasks, Kakadu will additionally provide users with training in separating information on different web pages. It's a point to learn to distinguish what information is important and what is the “extra fill” on web pages users operate on. Depending on the task we want to solve, there are different elements that one is made able to recognize.
