#CRISSmooc: How to acquire and assess the students’ Digital Competence

Description

Insignia digitalNowadays, most teenagers use new technologies in a creative and intensive way, especially for communication purposes. Besides, the use of mobile devices allows our students to be connected 24 hours a day. But, what is their real digital competence? How can we develop and assess it?

The CRISS project provides a framework for the digital competence of students as well as a tool designed to develop, assess and certify that digital competence. The CRISS tool is a ‘portfolio manager’ which helps collect and show all type of evidences related to digital competence as well as enables its assessment through different learning scenarios.

This course is a means to introduce both the students’ digital competence framework and the CRISS platform to teachers. After successfully complete the training activities you will obtain a digital badge issued by The CRISS Project Consortium with mention to the competences acknowledged after completion of the different activities. That badge can be downloaded and stored in your Digital Backpack.

In order to follow this MOOC, we recommend you to join the CRISS pilot beforehand. Joining the CRISS pilot doesn't mean any specific commitment to you. It will just allow you to have a better understanding of the tool as well as improve the interaction with it in order to do the different activities present in this MOOC.
