Abstract(s)
This project is being developed in response to a European-wide need to improve teacher
digital skills and competences in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid move to a fully online or blended approach to teaching, learning and assessment. In addition, technological innovations in the area of teaching and learning are leading to new challenges as educational institutions learn to adapt to new pedagogical approaches and digital tools. So, this communication aims to present the Innovative Digital Education & Skills (IDEAS) Erasmus+ project, and help tackle the digital skills gaps across Europe. The project intends to build new tools and create a community of mentors, with the development of a Community of Practice on LinkedIn, where teachers can share best practice pedagogical approaches, culminating in a Best Practice Guide which will offer a step-by-step guide for developing digital competence in their specific education setting.
Description
The Innovative Digital Education and Skills (IDEAS) project aims to improve teacher digital skills and competences through a micro-credentialed teacher training course offering bite-sized modules that will be flexible and adapted to individual professional development needs. The course will be supported by a LinkedIn Community of Practice where teachers from across Europe can communicate and share best practices, helping to prepare them for the post COVID-19 teaching environment.
