During the initial phase of the implementation of Output 1 – Development of a competence framework to facilitate a swift to a distance/hybrid learning model, partners analysed the following 6 competence frameworks:
- DigiComp2.1
- UNESCO: Digital Literacy Global Framework Competences
- Microsoft’s 21st century learning skills
- DigiCompEdu
- DQ Competence Framework
- 21st P Information Media and Technology skills
The competence frameworks that were chosen either relate to the digital skills of teachers in specific, or to the skills of a 21st century digitally competent citizen. The frameworks were analysed in three levels (competence areas, competences, skills) following the 3-level approach adapted by DigiComp2.1, one of the analysed frameworks that was the basis for the development of 2 other frameworks (UNESCO’s and DigiCompEdu) and was applicable to rest of them.
