CRISS MOOC Competencies and Learning Outcomes
Participation in the course will allow teachers to know, understand, and implement the CRISS methodological framework for digital competence.
According to the European Union, digital competences are one of eight key competences that every young person must acquire before completing compulsory education. Through work on the course and with the platform, teachers gain valuable training experience, both for themselves and for students, in the knowledge needed to develop these competences.
In addition to general work on raising their own and students' competencies, the teacher will learn through the MOOC how to use a specially designed e-Portfolio to track students. The e-Portfolio serves as a repository of work created with the intention of tracking and showcasing student progress and mastery of a specific area of digital competence.
In addition to the above, with a specially developed knowledge analytics system, the teacher has the possibility at all times to gain insight into the development, evaluation, and certification of students' digital competencies.
