Connectivity
Is there a stable connection when it’s needed?
Accessible technology
Make technology within everyone’s reach
Making the most of technology combines several ingredients: beyond internet, it takes devices, affordable costs, skills, security and clear content. We work so anyone can use it to their advantage.
Everything that counts
Digital access has several layers
Having a connected phone is a great first step; to build a résumé, attach a document or protect your data, a few more skills help. Full digital inclusion rests on six conditions.
Device
Can the task be done with the available equipment?
Affordability
Can it be paid for without sacrificing the essentials?
Skills
Do they know how to use the tool and fix errors?
Accessibility
Can it be seen, heard and operated with different abilities?
Security
Do they recognize risks and know where to ask for help?

From connection to advanced use
Households with internet access93.7%
People who use a mobile phone90.5%
Households with a computer60.3%
People who use a computer37.1%
Almost all households have internet and almost everyone uses a mobile phone, and around 4 in 10 already use a computer. Since many work tasks (design, spreadsheets, uploading documents, programming) are done better on a computer, we teach with both the phone and the computer in mind, so you can make the most of each.
Design for everyone
Accessibility benefits us all
Accessibility is designed for people with disabilities but —according to the W3C— it also helps older people, mobile users, beginners, those who don’t master the language and slow connections.
Captions
They help deaf people and also anyone studying in a noisy place.
Clear text
It makes reading easier for beginners, people with cognitive difficulties and those learning the language.
Keyboard use
Essential for some motor disabilities and convenient for those who prefer the keyboard.
Lightweight pages
They benefit slow connections, limited data plans and older devices.
Artificial intelligence
Access is the first step; knowing how to use it is the key
The OECD notes that most people need general AI literacy to use it well and judge its results with criteria. Teaching AI is much more than writing a prompt.
With a people-centered approach: privacy, security and responsible use (UNESCO).
- Identify tasks where AI saves time
- Give instructions with context, goal and limits

- Check the answer is correct before trusting it
- Protect personal and sensitive data
- Detect possible biases
- Review and adapt the result before using it
- Know when an expert is needed
