Digital Teaching Literacy

Digital teaching literacy, which is currently not yet known as a fixed term, is understood in the NIDIT project as higher education didactic competences in digitally supported teaching and learning settings. The competence grid by Eichhorn et al. (2017) serves as the basis for this. It describes a total of eight different dimensions (see below). Due to these different competence areas or dimensions, digital teaching literacy is to be regarded as a cross-sectional competence.

The eight dimensions of the competence grid (Eichhorn et al. 2017):

  • Operate and use
  • Inform and research digitally
  • Communicate and cooperate digitally
  • Digital teaching
  • Digital identity and career planning
  • Digital science
  • Produce and present
  • Analyse and reflect
