For innovators, a lack of digital skills and an inability to use technology is one of the main obstacles to success. The second obstacle is a lack of understanding of the technologies themselves and how technological innovations can be used in a specific business. The purpose of this course is to give you an initial understanding of key emerging technologies: artificial intelligence, web programming, information security, cloud computing, and more. This course is designed for non-specialists in the field of information technology, but for those who are interested in the opportunities that information technology provides for the development of innovative activities. The lecture material is selected to give you an initial understanding of roles in IT, modern IT project management technologies, database basics, algorithms and descriptions of the main programming languages. After completing the course, you will be able to analyze your business processes and determine which processes can be digitized or automated. You will also be able to master the modern terminology of information technologies, which will allow you to freely communicate with IT specialists. The skills you acquire will enable you to facilitate the implementation of the results of your innovations. The course consists of 10 video lectures with accessible material. At the end of some lectures, you need to take a short test for better assimilation of the material. At the end of the course you will need to take a general test. Getting at least 60% of the correct answers is considered a successful passing of the test. Students who have listened to all lectures and successfully passed the test will receive a certificate.
