#4 Developing digital skills of HE students and staff with regard to responsiveness to crisis situations
Output 4 aims to create a pool of evidence based on solid, pan-European frameworks of digital skills that will help Higher Education staff and students develop their digital skills and competencies through engagement in digital action. The ultimate goal is that this process becomes beneficial to the communities involved and also that the role of universities as key social partners is strengthened.
The “O4A1: Framework for digital skills acquired in digital action contexts” responds to the growing awareness among HEIs that the acquisition of digital skills can be better served by digital actions aiming to enhance the participation and involvement of students in solving real-life problems identified by community groups. This publication aims to identify the recognised and widely used frameworks referring to digital skills and to explore whether these digital skills can be conveyed through digital actions in which higher education staff and students participate. O4A1 will thus serve to help HEIs and communities to adopt methodologies on digital skills and ways they can be fostered through civic engagement in digital action.
