Description
In the first part of the lecture, Jari Laru looks at how education should be reframed in the light of digitalisation. He first presents the “Framework for Core Skills for Life and Work in the 21st Century”, which on the one hand defines basic technological skills, but also includes digital competences as transversal to all other skills, e.g. communicative, collaborative, cognitive and metacognitive skills. Jari Laru then talks about the Finnish New Literacies Programme, which proposes concrete guidelines for teaching digital literacy.
The video was recorded on 26 April 2023 as part of the TESTEd lecture series. It is the first part of a four-part series on “The Digitalisation of Learning Spaces”.
