The project DIGCIT with the full title “DIGCIT – Strategic Partnership to develop Open Educational Resources for teaching Digital Citizenship” aims at promoting digital citizenship through youth work. Thus, we have chosen to develop innovative pedagogies and methods for teaching, learning and assessment that support trainers and learners to use digital technologies in creative, collaborative and efficient ways. We will design Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) with free educational resources for digital domains essential for today’s digital world:
BEING ONLINE
Access and Inclusion
Learning and Creativity
Media and Information Literacy
WELLBEING ONLINE
Ethics and Empathy
Health and Wellbeing
e-Presence and Communications
RIGHTS ONLINE
Active Participation
Rights and Responsibilities
Privacy and Security
Consumer Awareness
The innovative MOOC teaching, learning, assessment and recognition system developed by the youth and youth workers of project partners will be transferred and promoted to youth organisations. It will build the capacity among youth workers and youth organisations, achieving the third specific objective: increasing awareness of young people and youth workers to promote quality developments in youth work.
