This initiative is carried out in MetaRed Ecuador in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Corporation for the Development of Research and Academia - CEDIA and the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Union, and makes an adapted version of the tool available to Ecuadorian universities. of self-assessment of digital skills (DigCompEdu) for their teachers. This tool will allow participating teachers, universities and institutes to know their level of development in digital skills and thus undertake improvement plans and personal and institutional growth. In the same way, MetaRed Ecuador will be able to count on aggregated information at the country level, which will allow it to design appropriate skills development initiatives for each reality.
We are sure that this initiative can be very beneficial for the Ecuadorian Higher Education System, since, as you know, it has two fundamental objectives:
• That each institution can make a diagnosis of the competences of its HEI teachers.
For this reason, we ask you to spread it as widely as possible among the professors of your institutions.
We remind you of the information you can use to disseminate this valuable action:
