- Assessing digital and Info-communication competencies in higher education: a blended approach for e-Learning environmentsPublication . Henriques, Susana; Correia, Joana Duarte ; Carvalho, João Vidal; Abreu, António; Silva, Manuel; Costa, Eusébio Ferreira da; Costa, José Alfredo Ferreira daIn an era increasingly shaped by information and communication technologies, assessing digital and info-communication competencies among students has become a focal point for academic and institutional initiatives. Various projects, both within and outside Academia, have sought to classify students’ competencies at different levels, often relying on standardized tests and self-assessment questionnaires. However, as technological advancements rapidly evolve, universities face mounting pressure to align educational strategies with high levels of digital and info-communication proficiency and with the competitive demands of the labor market. It is, therefore, important to study these assessment tools further. Blended assessment methods, combining practical tests with self-perception questionnaires, offer a more nuanced evaluation of students’ digital competencies. By integrating objective skills assessments with self-reported proficiency, this approach captures a broader spectrum of abilities, recognizing the influence of diverse teaching models, students’ academic backgrounds, prior digital exposure, and access to technological resources. This is particularly relevant in distance higher education, where continuous engagement in virtual learning environments provides ongoing opportunities for monitoring digital and info-communication competencies development. Despite growing academic interest in this field, empirical research on digital and info-communication competencies in Portuguese higher education, particularly in e-learning contexts, remains limited. This paper presents the development of a digital literacy test and a questionnaire designed to assess students’ digital and info-communication practices. These instruments were created as part of the ongoing research project Digital and Infocommunicational Competencies in Virtual Learning Environments: Practices in e-Learning Curricular Units in Portuguese Higher Education.

- Gamified and ActiveLearning: portuguese university teachers experiencePublication . Afonso, Ana Paula; Morgado, Lina; Mendes, António Quintas; Areias, Maria Elisa; Pinto, João; Santoveña-Casal, SoniaThe NOOC 3 - Active and Gamified Learning2, developed by the Universidade Aberta (Portugal) as part of the ENID-Teach project, aims to enhance faculty skills in active learning and gamification. This study evaluates participants’ satisfaction with the course’s structure, content, methodology, technology, and overall learning experience. The chapter describe the preliminary results from the feedback from 21 Portuguese-speaking NOOC 3 participants, primarily higher education professionals, who completed structured or written interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify trends in satisfaction and, areas for improvement in the future. Participants rated the course highly, with 90% rating the structure and content as “Excellent”. Didactic resources, coherence, and teacher performance received similarly high marks. However, some challenges were noted, including platform usability issues, limited interaction, and course length limitations. Most respondents expressed a strong sense of belonging and willingness to participate in future NOOCs from the ENID-teach program. Results indicate that NOOC 3 effectively supports professional development through well structured, engaging, and relevant content and microlearning design. However, improving platform functionality, interaction opportunities, and course length could enhance the learning experience. These findings contribute to the refinement of future NOOC offerings and the advancement of digital faculty development methodologies.
