E-learning terminology

DigCompEdu, or the European Digital Competence Framework for Educators, is a framework developed by the European Commission to define and promote digital competences for teachers and other education professionals. The framework describes the skills and knowledge needed for teachers to effectively use digital technologies in teaching, learning and professional development. The DigCompEdu framework describes in detail 22 digital competences divided into six areas, and seeks to provide guidance on how educators can use digital technologies to improve education and introduce innovations in their own teaching in response to the educational needs of new generations of 21st century learners and the application of modern pedagogical methods in educational work.

Digital transformation is the change associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society. Digital transformation involves a change in leadership, different thinking, fostering innovation and new business models, incorporating the digitization of assets, and increased use of technology to improve the experience of an organization's employees, customers, suppliers, partners, and stakeholders.

Digital transformation in education requires teachers to adapt and adopt digital technologies, methodologies and thinking. Digital transformation in educational institutions is not about innovation or technology, but about culture. Digital transformation in education does not rely only on the teacher and student, but is significantly based on institutional strategies, policies and organizational processes. Through the digitization of the learning experience, both teachers and students can improve their skills with a common goal: to create a more active and effective educational process.
