Digitalization in Higher Education: Assessing the Digital Competence of Educators

Fatima Fattoumi presented on the need of educators’ digital competence to enhance students’ future and employability at Global ELT seminar hosted by the ELC, UTAS, Ibri on 13 December, 2022. She was of the profound opinion that digital competence has become a pre-requisite for educators. She stated that many scales and tools that were initially designed to assess such competency throughout all educational levels have been applied only in primary and secondary education. This paper applies the DIGIGLO that draws on the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators to assess the digital competence of educators in Higher Education.
