Educational project
Digital transition to Society 5.0 Understanding the digital revolution
SUPSI Image Focus
The project, led by lecturers Massimiliano Cannata and Manuel Lüscher, offers an English-language course for DACD students aimed at acquiring basic skills related to digitisation. Thanks to what they learn, students can thereby understand this phenomenon and the changes, some of which are already taking place, but which are firmly expected in the coming years, that it will bring to their profession, society and personal lives.
Deepen your knowledge of the English language while developing highly qualifying skills required by the new generation of professionals to contribute to the development of a society capable of using technological developments not only to increase profit, but also to improve the well-being of the public and the preservation of the environment.
The course, which sees the participation of students from various degree courses, applies modern didactic concepts by alternating moments of synchronous teaching, with theoretical topics (lectures) and applications (exercises), with asynchronous activities of theoretical learning (in-depth studies) and practical learning (exercises). We also alternate individual and group work, serious games and research with oral or written feedback, but strictly in English.
The main learning objectives are therefore to
As the subject of digitisation is very broad and complex, the objectives are mostly limited to understanding and knowledge rather than to the use and development of technologies (Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Blockchain, Machine Learning, etc.). Nevertheless, these cognitive skills are fundamental in the ability to interact with digital professionals (computer scientists, analysts, systems analysts, etc.) and thus develop interdisciplinary projects and work where the understanding and language of other professions is an essential element.

The main learning objectives are therefore to
- understand the fundamental concepts, principles, technologies and challenges of the digital revolution that is happening now and will be fully realised in the coming years,
- improve digital skills and acquire the ability to design and implement projects in one's future career that are innovative and adapted to the needs of modern society.
