Components

  • HeDiCom framework for higher education teachers' digital competence: The HeDiCom (Higher Education Digital Competence) framework is a generic framework of digital competencies for teachers in higher education, developed by Tondeur and colleagues through a review of digital competence research and comparison of existing frameworks, expert meetings with policy makers, and validation with practitioners. The preface states it "provides guidance and clearer expectations of higher education teachers' digital competency which can guide innovation in practice beyond the GOT." It extends pedagogical and technical knowledge domains to include empowering students. (Sarah K. Howard (2023))
