2. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

2.1. What are Digital Skills and Why Do We Need Them?
Every day millions of people around the world share photos over the Internet, upload and archive
documents and files to network drives, make money transfers from their online bank account,
communicate with each other and also learn online. To be able to complete any of these activities
necessary are some kind of digital skills. In this submodule we will study what digital skills in fact are,
why are they nowadays essential and how adult educators can make effective use of them while
teaching to disadvantaged groups, but also what accessibility means in terms of learning platforms for
the equal participation and use of digital skills regardless the conditions of a human being (disability,
impairment, learning difficulty or other type of disadvantage).
