Digital Skills Wallet - A new Project on the acquisition of Digital Skills
Type: FORWARD LOOKING PROJECTS-ERASMUS
Period: 16 Feb 2023
The project aims to develop an eco-system supported by a digital platform, for the Acquisition and Assessment of Digital Competences, with the use of micro-credentials on the 5 digital competence areas as per the DigComp framework. The platform will be open to the community and will be sustained by the community. Central to the project, is the analysis of the descriptors for the 5 competences into Learning Outcomes, which will be the building blocks for the micro-credentials. The platform will allow educators to contribute with learning content and assessment questions to the platform, where both (content and assessment questions) will be linked to micro-credentials. The system will assess the quality of the contributions, using a peer review methodology, statistics gathered by the system and users’ feedback. Learners wishing the issuance of micro-credentials, will be able to take a personalized assessment for a Digital competence area they wish to be assessed on and to state their preferred technologies (software, apps, Operating Systems they use daily). The system will deliver a Micro-credentials Transcript for the assessed competence, a learning path along with suggested short courses that deliver any pending LOs (micro-credentials not issued). The user will have the option to save the issued MCs in a Digital Skills Wallet. The learner can take the assessment on multiple occasions. The system will check the user’s Digital Skills Wallet, where micro-credentials already issued will be stored and will provide the questions which will aim to assess any credentials which will have not been issued yet.
Main Deliverables:
1.The Digital Skills Wallet platform
2.A Guide for developing questions and courses with micro-credentials
3.A framework for the development of an ecosystem for the Acquisition and Assessment of Digital Competences with the use of micro-credentials
4.A Large-Scale Pilot test of the DSW platform
