SELFIE newsletter

In February 2024 we reached a new goal: SELFIE is now being used by over 6 million people. Thank you to all that has been part of our tool's history since 2018. Let's keep on growing!

The ‘next internet’, data, and AI and learning analytics will potentially redefine both education and society at large in fundamental ways. How could they influence pedagogical practices and the delivery of education at large?

On 18 March we presented our work on digital transformation of the VET sector to the Directors General in Vocational Education and Training, in a meeting organised by the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union.

This brief contributes to policy on provision of digital skills. It uses data from Cedefop’s second European skills and jobs survey (ESJS2) and provides new evidence by describing the characteristics of the digitally-underskilled in the EU workforce and identifying characteristics of EU workers undertaking digital skills education and training.

While EU policy recognises the importance of digital technologies in enabling quality and inclusive education, robust evidence on the impact of these technologies is limited especially due to its dependency from the context of use. To address this challenge, this literature review analyses the focus, methodologies, and results of 92 papers on the impact of digital technologies in compulsory education.

In this science for policy brief we present findings from an evaluation study on the role of the SELFIE tool in the digital transformation of schools, which showed that SELFIE can be a useful tool to support the digital transformation in schools assisting them in organizational and strategic decisions.

This report builds on the findings of a workshop organised on July 2022, with the objective of compiling research related to self-reflection tools and frameworks, to evaluate their potential to influence policies related to the Digital Transformation in Education.

On 22-23 February we met with 40 experts (policy makers, academics/researchers, teacher trainers) to share experiences on how SELFIEforTEACHERS can be used in different education settings. Discover our main findings.

On 7-8 March, we organised a workshop at JRC premises in Seville with the objective of discussing the work being done in the last 16 months on topics related to support the Digital Transformation of the Vocational Educational and Training (VET) sector. It reunited 35 experts, key stakeholders, educators, and policymakers, who discussed the findings, explored possible synergies and planned the next steps.
