 -   Digital competence profile for students
 -   Digital competence profile for teachers

                    How:
    Through new forms of learning and                               Technology                      Didactics

 learning environments in interaction with
 new technology and practice. This will be
  applied in the educations – for instance
     through graduate profiles and the
     development of microcredentials                                           Digital navigation

Technology understanding
  Technology understanding is a
  central qualification in society
       and especially in the
       educational system

    The ambition is to improve
  these qualifications throughout    FOUR COMPETENCES:
      the education system –
   Including a project under the     Computational empowerment
    research and development
               center                Digital design and design
                                     processes
   There have been pilot projects
  in primary and lower secondary     Computational thinking
        school 6-16 years old
                                     Digital skills
Learning environments
 Why
 Learning environments must be improved to strengthen the study intensity and
 strengthen the academic content - through the use of new technology and in co-
 creation with practice.

 How
 Digital learning environments have to be didactically incorporated in the educations.
 Technology understanding must also be a part of the didactics and the quality of
 teaching

 Physical areas must be integrated and designed in order to handle the technological
 possibilities of the future.

 A part of the transformation process is also to develop new hybrid educational
 opportunities across our region.
Conclusions

▪   Competences are at the core
▪   These must be devolved in interaction with and applied in
    the educations – through strong learning environments
▪   Technology understanding is a key competence

We continuously engage with new
developments in digitalization
     Digital learning environments are part of a holistic approach to
       boosting the capabilities of individuals and organisations.

    These environments include: educational videos, webinars, digital
      guest teachers, courses, online supervision and teamlearning
