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.

Roadmap to 100% e-invoicing by 2030

Raising e-invoicing to 100% in Finland by 2030 is an ambitious target we are trying to reach with the E-invoicing 2030 roadmap. The roadmap focuses on the promotion of e-invoices under the European standard, with concrete steps to reaching the target. The E-invoicing Forum has investigated why all companies are not yet using e-invoices compliant with the European standard. The results indicate there are some key problems that must be solved, and these are what the roadmap focuses on.

An eco-friendly future from electronics waste: producing and using eco-friendlier technology with the help of the Green ICT ecosystem

“Green technology” is no longer an empty catchphrase, as a new EU directive will require companies to assess and report on the emissions they produce. Recycling also plays a key role in the technology sector. A staggering 53.6 million tonnes of technological waste is generated every year, outweighing the Great Wall of China.

Technology – invaluable for continuous learning and recognition of prior learning

The high rate of digitalisation makes it important to keep learning new skills, and to recognise such skills. Skill recognition and development calls for strategic thinking, data on skills, practical tools and collaboration. Good examples of skills recognition models and tools include badges, data spaces and a digital compass.
