LLR Digital Skills Centre: Digital Skills Framework

Digital Skills Framework

Being Digitally Competent is a pre-requisite for living, learning and working in the 21st Century. 

Your Digital Development

Digital competence is a combination of the level of skill, attitude and knowledge which you approach the use of technology in order to perform tasks, solve problems, communicate, collaborate and manage information. Your level of digital competence is also reflected in the way that you create and share content effectively, appropriately, securely, critically, creatively, independently and ethically.
