Activity cards
for digital tools
During your studies, you will become familiar with various digital applications and systems. In this context, they can be generally referred to as digital tools. With the aid of various digital tools you can arrange meetings online, take notes, organise, brainstorm, share information and files, and present groupwork online, for example. The same digital tools are also used in working life, so the studies offer a good opportunity to practise the use of digital tools and their application in different situations.
The activity cards below give you clear instructions and tips on using digital tools. Each activity card describes a typical situation in which students apply digital tools in practice. Follow the instructions and try it yourself!
