Course description

Teaching professions face rapidly changing demands that require a new, broader and more sophisticated set of competences than before. In particular, the ubiquity of digital devices and applications requires educators to develop their digital literacy.

This learning material has been developed at the Teacher Education for a Future in Flux (TEFF) academy. With this material, TEFF wants to support teachers and learners in developing their digital literacy.
The main target groups of the online course are pre-service teachers, in-service teachers and student teachers. Educators at universities or other institutes with an educational focus are welcome to use our content, but sometimes it will show that the course is aimed at primary and secondary school education.
