Technologies in HE teaching: giving learners a voice
The document discusses how technology can be used to give learners a voice in higher education. It presents the DigCompEdu framework for digital competencies in education and describes four types of learner-centered tasks that empower students: learner-centered, learner-led, learner-connected, and learner-self-regulated. These tasks actively engage students and help personalize their learning experiences by allowing them more freedom and ownership over their education. The document argues that technologies can help educators implement new pedagogical approaches that focus on developing students' creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.

Editor's Notes
- #4 What comes first? What influences what? New technologies pushing new pedagogies or new pedagogies using new technologies
- #6 New technologies and associated pedagogies require a very different skill-set from more conventional teaching, and this can place additional pressures on teaching staff. Academic staff are not all technology experts and in many cases, they have not received any form of pedagogical training at all. They need specific training, guidance and support if they are to deliver quality teaching. This is especially true as the integration of these new modes of teaching is resulting in a changing role for teachers, from knowledge transmitters and experts in a particular subject to mentors and facilitators of critical thinking.
- #8 Educators need a set of digital competences specfic to their profession in order to be able to seize the potential of digital technologies for enhancing and innovating education. The DigCompEdu Framework aims to capture and describe these educator-specific digital competences by proposing 22 elementary competences organised in 6 areas (Figure 1): Area 1 is directed at the broader professional environment, i.e. educators’ use of digital technologies in professional interactions with colleagues, learners, parents and other interested parties, for their own individual professional development and for the collective good of the organisation. Area 2 looks at the competences needed to effectively and responsibly use, create and share digital resources for learning. Area 3 is dedicated to managing and orchestrating the use of digital technologies in teaching and learning. Area 4 addresses the use of digital strategies to enhance assessment. Area 5 focuses on the potential of digital technologies for learner-centred teaching and learning strategies. Areas 6 details the specific pedagogic competences required to facilitate students’ digital competence.
