By Ed Smith The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) has launched its Digital Teaching Professional Framework (DTPF) as part of a new EDTech Strategy for 2018-21, designed to better support and recognise practitioners using technology in teaching and learning. The framework, launched at the Society for Education and Training’s (SET) inaugural annual conference in November, is a competency framework for teaching and training practitioners in the further education and training sector. It has been designed to focus on the benefits of good pedagogy supported by

technology to enhance learning. Developed in collaboration with the not-for-profit digital solutions company, Jisc, the framework sets out different teaching contexts and activities, and the main components of each one. Every component is mapped to relevant parts of the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators, the ETF’s Professional Standards and Jisc’s six Digital Capabilities. The DTPF forms the backbone of what will become the ETF’s Enhance Digital Teaching Platform (EDTP). This platform will include free, online, bite-size training modules with certification, due for launch early in the New Year.
Vikki Liogier, the ETF’s head of learning technologies, said: “The Enhance Digital Teaching Platform will offer a CPD dashboard that will strengthen training organisations’ support framework and better guide staff development pathways. “This will support staff in
realising the benefits of technology to their own practice and enable their learners to develop the digital skills they require for learning and being prepared for a digital workplace.” The Enhance platform’s
micro-learning modules will offer practical support and information on a range of real-world applications for technologies in education and training. The DTPF and Enhance platform
are designed to be used alongside Jisc’s Digital Discovery tool, which allows practitioners to assess their knowledge and competence in relation to a range of digital practices.
