DAISSy researchers participate in two VERY important workshops organized by ALL DIGITAL during the ICT2018:

1. Assessing the impact of extracurricular digital creativity activities

The event will bring together stakeholders to discuss how to collect and make available open data (quantitative & qualitative) on digital creativity activities and how to assess the impact of these activities on young people’s participation in the digital economy and society (acquisition of STEM skills, digital & 21st century skills, school performance, skills retention, innovation capacities, career, etc.).

The main aim is to create a consortium of interested stakeholders and develop a proposal for a research project on the development of a framework to serve as guidance to organisations in assessing the impact of their activities.

The event will take place on 05/12/2018 (10:00-10:45) in Room 1.61-1.62. Read more about the event here!

2. Towards a European certification framework of digital skills

The purpose of the session is to discuss on cultural and other issues that affect Europe-wide acceptance of digital skills frameworks and propose a strategy towards the establishment of a European certification framework of digital skills. Issues to be debated include the design of a common European digital competence qualifications framework and the adoption of a common European certification process, which will enable mobility and recognition of qualifications.

With the support of the European Commission and all stakeholders involved, we would like to start an open consultation in order to develop an open Digital Competences Development and Certification System that will enable training providers to use any methodology and material that they consider best suitable to the needs of the trainees, so that the latter could successfully complete the assessment and receive certification.

The event will take place on 05/12/2018 (16:30-17:15) in Room 0.94-0.95. Read more about the event here!

ALL DIGITAL Week 2018 turned out to be one of the most successful campaigns – it united 4,070 partners from 32 countries to offer 5,445 events to over 125,000 participants. Read the entire story here.

The digital empowerment campaign was organised by ALL DIGITAL for the 9th time and was run in digital competence centres, libraries, schools, community centres, etc. across Europe supported by local authorities, companies, academia and volunteers from various sectors.

Laurentiu Bunescu, CEO of ALL DIGITAL, said, “We organise ALL DIGITAL WEEK to support Europeans in their digital transformation journeys. More than ever, we all need to invest in digital skills for media literacy, social inclusion, employability, entrepreneurship and education.”

Fiona Fanning, Director of European Affairs, commented, “As technology pervades all aspects of our lives, it has never been more important to ensure that all Europeans have the opportunity to gain the digital skills and certification that will help them succeed as a student, citizen, and an employee. We are thrilled to support the important mission of ALL DIGITAL Week in facilitating a truly pan-European digital transformation.”

ALL DIGITAL Week was led by our national partners in 26 countries. You can see the overview of activities in each country where we had a national partner by clicking on the flag. There you can also see the links to blogposts, photos, some media coverage, and information on past editions.

The DAISSy research group of Hellenic Open University was the National Partner for Greece. DAISSy organized a webinar in order to introduce UMI (Ubiquitous, Mobile, Internet of Things) technologies and their potential use in STEM education. The webinar presented a holistic view of UMI technologies and introduced their potential use in education and training and was based on the H2020 UMI-Sci-Ed project.
