Course Description
Digital Skills for the 21st Century is a course focused on the impact of digital technology on today's businesses, the economy, and society. Rapid advances in technologies are creating benefits and efficiencies for those businesses that recognize their advantages and pitfalls, and harness them to their advantage; those who can't are left behind with competitive disadvantages. today's workforce needs to understand these trends, recognize key differences among features and approaches of these technologies, and apply them effectively. Specific topics in this course include cloud computing, unified communication platforms, cyber security, social media, and mobile computing.

One of the things I love about tech and teaching is the constant new tools to promote community service projects and organizations.

University of Phoenix (UOP) is one of these types of organizations. UOP is a member of the new generation of for profit schools and online education pioneers. 

I've been teaching at UOP for nearly 10 years and seen massive improvements and changes. No organization is perfect. This is obvious but UOP has faced its challenges and problems and changed. Improved. This is not true of all businesses, organizations, or leaders. UOP is consisting improving. It's awesome to be part of UOP.

At the Fresno Campus, I'm lucky to collaborate with a team that strives to improve themselves, their students, our campus, and UOP.
