This was a great course. I really enjoyed the material and learned a lot of good information to apply to my work with community advocacy.

Closing the digital divide is essential for fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Nearly one in three U.S. workers ages 16 to 64 have few or no digital skills; at least 38 percent of those workers are employed in jobs requiring moderate or advanced computer use. A recent report by the National Skills Coalition found that 92% of current job listings require digital skills. Imagine not being able to enter the workforce due to a deficit in these essential skills. Now imagine a comprehensive training that allows you to support others in obtaining digital skills and achieving their workforce, personal, or educational goals. The Goodwill Digital Navigator training, co-developed with World Education, a division of JSI Research and Training Institute, will equip service providers with specific skills and information to support customers to get on their own learning pathway to economic sufficiency. Learners that complete all courses will be able to use these credits toward renewal requirements of an International Coaching Federation (ICF) credential. This training is comprised of three courses which will help someone: Understand the digital divide; Provide digital skills and guide others towards digital resilience; Achieve the customer service and relevant navigation skills; and Capture community assets and weave them into intentional programming.

This course was definitely well intentioned and probably useful for people new to digital navigation, non profits, and/or serving people in a community based way. It addresses a much needed skill. I appreciated the clear definitions and organization of the course, the multiple choice questions that provided quick and clear feedback on my learning process; the emphasis on privacy; and attempts to address inclusion, equity, and serving racially and ethnically diverse clients. However, the course still left much to be desired for all learners: The lack of options to easily read the content was difficult for me; the course was not inclusive to diverse learning styles; Many of the same points were said again and again, sometimes in different ways; the content was not new to me as someone with a background working in public libraries, which made it difficult to be engaged with the material and find things to learn; the content was not scaled to a variety of learners; most of the questions could be answered without having reviewed the content; the discussion questions could have used more detail - how long are the answers expected to be?
