Course content
The course makes a practical and concrete contribution to customer competence which provides a basis for interdisciplinary collaboration in connection with the development and introduction of ICT in the health service.
The course covers the following:
ICT theory:
- Basics of computers' structure and operation.
- Digital representation of information.
- Networking and communication. Procedure-oriented programming:
- Variables and data types.
- Input and output.
- Control structures: Sequence, selection, and repetition.
- Structuring and division of programs; features.
- Data structures: Lists, tables, text strings, quantities, tuples and records (dictionary).
- File management, persistent storage of information, and exceptions.
- Formulation of algorithms in pseudocode and flow chart.
- Python as a programming environment.
The teaching is given in the form of an alternation between theoretical lectures and practical exercises - individually and in groups. After each session, homework assignments are given that give participants quick and immediate experience in using theoretical insight to solve concrete, realistic examples of problems.
