Learning and Skills for the Digital Era
This forms an important part of the Europe 2020 agenda and its various flagships and policy initiatives.
JRC research in this area started in 2005 and is focused on how to make better use of ICT for rethinking learning, for innovating education and training and for addressing new skills requirements (e.g. digital competence) to generate growth, employment and social inclusion. More than 20 major studies have been undertaken and more than 100 different publications released.
JRC research in 2016-2017 is structured around three main strands:
JRC's Learning and Skills projects cover a wide range of studies: On citizens and learners (micro), on teachers and educators (professionals), and on educational organisations (meso) and societies (macro). As indicated in the image below, projects are developed in collaboration with sister Commission services (Education and Culture, Employment, Justice).

Interactive Designers will have to adapt or die. As AI starts to play a major part of the online learning landscape, aright across the learning journey, it will be used for learner engagement, learner support, content creation, assessment and so on, it will eat into the traditional skills that have been in play for nearly 35 years. The old, core skillset was writing, media production, interactions and assessment.

The University of Edinburgh’s 23 Things for Digital Knowledge is a self-directed course, run by Information Services Group. The programme aims to expose you to a range of digital tools for your personal and professional development as a researcher, academic, student, or professional. The aim is for you to spend a little time each week over the semester, building up and expanding your skills. Each week, we’ll talk about one or more of the tools/tasks from our 23 Things programme and encourage you to try it out and reflect on it. We hope that the programme presents a realistic challenge and will allow you to fit it into your schedule. The University of Edinburgh’s ‘23 Things for Digital Knowledge’ is inspired by 23 Things Oxford and based on the original 23 Things program which ran at the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County in the USA in 2006.

Technology has changed not only the how we work, but also has included some new skills in the world. It means that an adult will learn a new world wide movement that could be difficult. Therefore, it will be the responsibility off any facilitator to orientate adults in the processes of acquiring the new skills required by the technological world.

National Assessment Program – ICT Literacy Years 6 & 10.
This report provides the results of 10,562 Australian students by state, territory and student sub-groups and provides details of their achievement on the most recent test of ICT literacy. In addition to the test of ICT knowledge and skills, students were surveyed about their ICT perceptions and their use of ICT in schools and at home. While the survey results clearly confirm the general belief that Australian students are frequent users of computer technology and continue to express interest and enjoyment when working with computers, this report shows a significant decline in their ICT literacy performance when compared to previous cycles. In 2014, the mean performance of Year 6 compared to those who participated in the last assessment in 2011 was significantly lower. Similarly, the mean performance of Year 10 students was significantly lower than the Year 10 mean performance in all previous NAP – ICT literacy assessments. Also declining was the percentage of students in Year 6 and Year 10 meeting the NAP – ICT literacy proficient standards. These declines in performance are concerning and warrant serious attention.

Welcome to the project site of the Jisc Interactive Learning Resources for Skills project. At the end of 2014 we commissioned 22 training providers to create open educational resources for a wide range of vocational areas. The commissioned organisations are all funded by the Skills Funding Agency to provide training for apprentices in England. They are listed, with a brief description of their projects, and direct links to the content where available, on the right-hand side of every page of this site. Each commissioned organisation has had a mentor from the project team. Mentors are looking after five to seven organisations, encouraging networking and learning on all sides. Some organisations have written blogs describing their own learning journeys during the course of the project.

Listening is an important skill that, unfortunately, is not given its due worth in school curricula. Listening is the key to understanding, a better understanding. It is a way of communicating and appreciating the world around us. The kind of listening am talking about here is what sound expert Julian Treasure called conscious listening. This is a mental process that consciously receives and decode auditory input. Stephen Covey talks about empathic listening (from empathy) and listed it as the fifth habit of highly effective people.
