Use a DigCompEdu-informed lens to examine professional engagement, resources, teaching, assessment, learner empowerment and students' digital competence.
- Professional engagement: technology changes how educators learn and collaborate — Digital competence includes communication, collaboration, reflection and professional learning.
- Digital resources: select, adapt and manage with purpose — Competence includes judging the quality, fit, licensing, accessibility and safety of digital resources.
- Teaching and learning: orchestrate technology inside pedagogy — Digital competence is visible in how technology is sequenced, supported and connected to learner activity.
- Assessment: use digital evidence to make better decisions — Technology can collect and analyse evidence, but professional judgement remains central.
- Empowering learners: use technology to widen access and agency — Digital competence includes differentiation, accessibility and meaningful learner participation.
- Facilitating learners' digital competence: teach judgement through real learning — Students need opportunities to communicate, create, evaluate, solve problems and act responsibly with technology.
