A broad set of competencies are involved in learning processes, and digital technology (devices, digital input, software, hardware, and digital data/content) has a potential to change and innovate the traditions in teaching and learning.
A broad set of competencies are involved in learning processes, and digital technology (devices, digital input, software, hardware, and digital data/content) has a potential to change and innovate the traditions in teaching and learning.
Learning technologies can foster collaborative and cooperative learning and enhance both the learning process and the development of digital competencies. For the digital learning process and to ensure that the technologies can interact with the learning objectives and the learning process, the digital skills must be an integrated part of the planning process.

Throughout the learning process, the digital skills and set of criteria that teachers and learners make together can be the used to develop the competencies while working with learning objective and also part of the learning loop and feedback during the process.

Collaboration and formative assessment and should be planned from a pedagogical, not technological perspective. For the technology to support the learner in the process, pedagogy and learning objectives must be the starting point and the technology must be seen as an integrated part of the goals and designed to enhance the learning.

What is it to be digitally competent and how to develop the competencies? What kind of digital competencies a learner in the 21st century needs is described as a key factor in the Dig Com Framework.

The framework “aims to detail how digital technologies can be used to enhance and innovate education and training” (Redecker, 2017). Six areas are described to help teachers when facilitating the learner’s digital competence.
The six areas descriptions of competencies could be changed into questions that teachers can use to identify the needs for development and involve the learners in making criteria and take an active role in developing digital skills.
“The ability to work effectively in teams is among the 21st century learning objectives. [...] Technologies offer many possibilities for fostering the skills of collaborative and cooperative learning, for example by supporting members of a group in seeking common ground, explaining their ideas, and understand each other’s views; all of these processes are associated with successful collaborative problem solving as well as model learning.”
