Follow Up of Civil
Society Training: IT Workshop
Optimizing Students’ Ability in Computer Use
This workshop related with the use of computer is very
important and many students coming from remote area with limited access of
internet should work hard to compete with students having quite good internet
access. Students from Timor Leste studying in Yogyakarta and joining HIMER–Y
(Himpunan Mahasiswa Timor Leste in Yogyakarta), a local student community from
Ermera, Timor Leste admitted that one way to strengthen the civil society is
empowerment. New students from local areas coming to Yogyakarta need to have
fast adaptation to get access especially in Information Technology that is so
limited in their home town. So, the community invited their friends to optimize
their skill in using computer.
After Civil Society
Empowerment training held by Stube HEMAT a couple of weeks ago, the members of
HIMER-Y intended to develop and to improve the quality of civil society. This
event was especially held for college students who are expected to be able to
contribute positive things for the society, specifically for Timor Leste or
other cities when the students go back to their hometown after finishing their
study. Agostino Marques, a student of AKAKOM Yogyakarta, longingly shared his
knowledge about computer to the participants of this workshop. By knowing the ways to optimize computer, the community hope
that this skill will help students in finishing their college assignments that
must be done by computer.
This one day workshop held on January 12, 2013 in “Omah
Limasan” supplied the participants with knowledge to know some problems related
with software and also to know the importance of social network such as
blogspot as one of the tools to promote their scholarly papers, videos or other
works. The participants found that there were many interesting
cases in computer and internet access during the workshop. Thus, they expect
that such discussion or workshop related with the problems in optimizing skill
in computer and internet access for new
local students in Yogyakarta may be held more often, as it is very important.
