Digital Survival Skills: A Course for TalTech EmployeesKaido Kikkas
The document describes a digital skills course for employees at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) called Digital Security Skills or DigiTarkus. The course aims to improve everyday digital knowledge and skills as society increasingly relies on technology but basic skills are often assumed. It has six modules covering topics such as basics of IT, information work, office software, programming, security and legislation. Each module contains multiple topics that end with a test. The course was launched in Estonian in 2018 and English in 2019 and is designed to raise awareness on important digital issues in a practical way using multiple platforms and open-source software. As of December 2019, over 500 employees had completed parts of the course.
The document discusses inclusive development and accessibility in website design. It notes that websites should be accessible to all audiences, including those with disabilities, as inaccessible sites exclude users and limit their reach. It outlines different types of disabilities that may impact accessibility like visual, mobility, hearing and cognitive impairments. The document provides guidance on how to design accessible websites by following standards like W3C, using responsive design, and validating websites for accessibility issues. It recommends tools for validation and testing accessibility.

Of Hobbits, Amish, Hackers and Technology 2014Kaido Kikkas
A new version of the 2007 lecture, held at the Estonian Information Technology College in the "Deploying IT Infrastructure Solutions" Intensive Programme on April 3, 2014 (updated from the 2013 version in April'04).
This document discusses ethical issues in e-learning and proposes a provisional code of ethics. It notes that technology has advanced greatly but humans have largely remained the same. It raises questions about whether the online world is a new environment or an extension of real life. Key issues addressed include the role of the teacher, freedom of expression online, intellectual property, and how to handle problems. The proposed code emphasizes the community aspects of e-learning, the importance of motivation, continuous assessment over exams, acknowledging multiple perspectives, and having policies to address issues when they arise.
Open Courses: The Next Big Thing in E-Learning?Kaido Kikkas
This document discusses the evolution of e-learning and open online courses (OOCs) specifically. It provides examples of OOCs run in Estonia using Wikiversity, which found that they are a new way for open sharing and learning as a community. While facilitation requires a shifting teacher role, findings suggest OOCs are a suitable model for many courses and could become a next step in e-learning evolution, though careful construction is still needed.
Necessary freedoms for information societyKaido Kikkas
The document discusses the paradigm shift brought about by information society and the free flow of information. It argues that information is a unique resource that spreads through multiplication and is more suitable for non-market production. Many existing laws are based on principles of scarcity that no longer apply to information. The document advocates for document freedom and open formats to enable cooperative efforts and new business models in the information age.
