Supplement to the DigCompEDU Framework

The supplement outlined in this document aims to build upon the existing DigCompEdu framework from the European Union¹ by integrating critical competencies relating to artificial intelligence (AI) in education. It recognises that AI is rapidly transforming teaching and learning processes, and Vocational and Adult educators need to be equipped with skills to understand, evaluate and utilise AI technologies effectively and responsibly. The supplement examines the dual challenge of AI as a tool for training and learning but also a subject for learning in VET and adult education. To achieve this, the supplement aligns AI competencies to the six key areas of the DigCompEdu framework: Professional Engagement, Digital Resources, Teaching and Learning, Assessment, Empowering Learners, and Facilitating Learner’s Digital Competence. For each area, it delves into how AI can be applied in that context, suggested activities for educators to develop relevant skills, proposed progression levels for competency building, potential challenges that may arise, and strategies to address them.
