Why educators need a dedicated framework
DigComp describes digital competences for all citizens, but educators have specific needs. DigCompEdu, published in 2017 by the JRC, addresses this with 6 areas covering the full spectrum of educators' professional digital competences.
The 6 areas are: Professional engagement, Digital resources (linked to OpenEdu), Digital pedagogy, Digital assessment, Empowering learners, and Facilitating learners' digital competence (based on DigComp).
DigCompEdu connects to DigCompOrg for institutional digital maturity, LifeComp for relational skills, and e-CF / ECSF for advanced ICT training contexts.
Explore all 22 competences on the dedicated portal at ExplorerHub.
