Digital Literacy for Medicaid Members
Digital Literacy
A Curriculum for Colorado Medicaid Members
Project Overview
The Center for Inclusive Design and Engineering pioneered a digital literacy curriculum to empower individuals receiving Medicaid long-term services and support. This curriculum is based on foundational skills, access to online healthcare resources and promoting digital equity. It is an iPad-based learning experience that was delivered to pilot program participants by actively engaged digital literacy coaches through the Digital Literacy eLearning Program on CIDE's learning management system, moodle.cide-learning.com.

The curriculum is for:

- Individuals seeking foundational digital skills.
- Anyone looking to navigate devices like iPads, smartphones, or computers more confidently.
- Those who benefit from learning with the guidance of a supportive coach.
- Learners of all abilities who value a self-paced, accessible program.
Our Purpose
While the digital world and technological innovations continue to rapidly advance, there are still many barriers that people with disabilities face when it comes to the successful utilization of information and communication technologies. By addressing these issues, we can create equal opportunities for everyone, with or without disabilities, and make the benefits of modern technology more accessible to all.
