Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: “Facilitating learners' digital competence”
Digital competence does not solely refer to mastering technology but rather to the way that teachers can use this technology to enhance their professional practice, empower their learners and improve learning outcomes.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.
Description
In the sixth and final course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we focus on facilitating learners’ digital competence.

Methodology & assessment
There is a later deadline for submitting your final mandatory activity and reviewing your peers, no live sessions, and no required meeting times. While the original course included scheduled discussions, this version allows independent learning with the same materials and guidance.
Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed experience.
Please note that to receive a certificate you will have to successfully complete the quiz at the end of module 2 and pass the final activity at the end of module 4.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.

Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
