European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators
The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) responds to the
growing awareness among many European Member States that educators need a set of digital
competences specific to their profession in order to be able to seize the potential of digital
technologies for enhancing and innovating education.

learning becomes more complex and makes greater demands on the learner or worker. Increases in level 1 to 8 relate to different factors such as:
• the complexity and depth of knowledge and understanding;
• the degree of necessary support or instruction;
• the degree of integration, independence and creativity required;
• the range and complexity of application/practice;
• the degree of transparency and dynamics of situations.
This list certainly is not comprehensive, as learning has many relevant dimensions, some which we might not even know. It should only indicate what is meant by ‘increasingly greater demands on learners/workers.’
