DigCompEdu (Digital Competence Framework for Educators) is a framework developed by the European Commission that defines a set of digital competences necessary for teachers in the digital era. This framework focuses on the skills, knowledge and attitudes teachers should possess to successfully integrate digital technologies into teaching and learning.
The DigCompEdu framework describes the teacher's competence structure and indicates clear goals to be achieved. Knowing this framework, senior educators can identify areas where they need to develop in order to become more competent in digital learning. They can use the various resources and training available online to gain the necessary skills and update their knowledge.
It gives senior educators guidance on the effective use of technology and applications that can support the learning process. Learning these competences allows educators to choose the right digital tools and apply them in their work to make the teaching process more interactive, engaging and tailored to the needs of seniors.
Educators of seniors can design training courses that enable seniors to learn and improve various digital skills, such as computer skills, using the Internet, online communication or using social media. They can also provide participants with tips and tricks on how to deal with digital challenges and issues they may face.
