In the Digi Teachers piloting training, European teachers are being provided with digital skills and tools for teaching

Digi Teachers Working Online project has progressed to the piloting phase, and the first version of the website has been published. In a five-country Erasmus+ collaboration project, the aim is to enhance the capabilities of teachers and instructors working with learners with special needs to implement online and hybrid teaching.

The ongoing training pilot involves teachers from Finland, Germany, Italy, and Spain. A shared learning platform enables peer learning with colleagues from different countries, while country-specific implementations allow for the utilization of existing applications in partner organizations and taking different target groups into consideration. The project partners’ clients include vocational students, individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as young and adult participants in rehabilitative work activities.

Based on country-specific surveys and the DigCompEdu framework, TIEKE has played a central role in defining a common curriculum and learning objectives, as well as verifying competencies with digital open badges.

All outputs will be compiled and made available on a website, with the first version already containing curriculum, training materials, evaluation tasks, tool descriptions, and additional information on digital badges. The contents of the pages are produced in English, with automatic translation used for language versions so far. Work on the website and toolkit will continue into autumn 2024.

Open Badges – A digital approach to micro-credentials

In today’s dynamic work and educational environments, it’s crucial to make all skills and competencies visible. Traditional certificates often fail to capture the full range of a person’s abilities, especially those acquired through professional experiences, hobbies, or volunteer work. Open Badges offer a solution to this challenge. In the Digi Teachers project, Open Badges were used to assess and recognize teachers’ competencies, highlighting their potential to promote continuous learning and professional development.

E-invoice data: an important untapped resource for companies

Although e-invoicing offers huge potential for improving financial management and business efficiency, this is still largely untapped. The full potential of e-invoicing will only be achieved when all invoices are sent electronically, enabling financial automation, real-time reporting and new business opportunities.

AI and e-invoicing: the key to efficient financial management

The combination of e-invoicing and AI brings huge benefits for financial management, but to make the most of it, invoicing must be fully digital. Taika Group and Verdis have joined forces to use artificial intelligence in e-invoicing. The benefits have been highly encouraging. The partnership shows why 100% take-up of e-invoicing is important.
