Sources and curriculum alignment
This is original VUB teaching material informed by the GS6 Level 2 framework. It uses no certification exam questions or copyrighted software screenshots. The additional week on guiding an AI coding agent is explicitly outside the GS6 Level 2 assessment score.

Teaching coverage
Objective numbers below identify the framework groups taught. Lessons, simulations and worksheets provide practice across these groups; the 20-question classroom test samples all seven domains and is not a full certification readiness prediction.

| 1: Make technology work for you | 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.3 | Set up a comfortable workspace, organize a calendar, and solve everyday device problems. |
| 2: Find, judge, and organize information | 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.2, 4.3.1, 7.4 | Find a reliable community resource and manage a shared file with care. |

The worksheet answer guides include performance evidence for objectives beyond the quiz sample. Re-check vendor instructions when menus change; learning goals and lesson dates remain reusable.
Adult learning and deeper video lessons
The chaptered videos connect skills to learner-chosen household and community tasks, model decisions, invite predictions, provide practice with feedback, and ask learners to transfer the routine. Accessibility and learner-controlled replay support different needs without assuming ability from age.
