However, teachers at HEIs are still primarily hired and rewarded for their research. Therefore, the development of digital teaching skills is often a slow process that relies on individual initiatives. DigCompEdu shows a way forward to create change on an institutional level.
The project "Competencies for Universities - using Technology in Education" (CUTE) aims to develop
- a strategy at an institutional level to improve digital competencies for university teaching, and
- a methodology for other institutions to do the same based on the European Framework for Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu).
