DIGCOMPin

DIGCOMPin is a framework designed to assess and develop digital competence among individuals. It was developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. The framework breaks down digital competence into a set of skills, knowledge, and attitudes across several key areas.

The framework identifies eight main competence areas: information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety, problem-solving, and learning to learn. Within each area, it further defines specific competences and their progression levels, ranging from foundational to advanced. This detailed structure allows for a nuanced understanding of an individual's digital capabilities.

DIGCOMPin serves as a valuable tool for educators, policymakers, and individuals. It can be used to design training programs, inform curriculum development, and guide personal learning paths. By providing a common reference point, it helps to standardize the understanding and measurement of digital skills across different contexts and age groups. The ultimate goal of DIGCOMPin is to foster a digitally competent citizenry capable of participating effectively in an increasingly digital society and economy. It is continuously updated to reflect the evolving digital landscape.
