Pistes pour une mesure de la compétence numérique

Abstract

Nowadays, in the educational field, digital literacy is considered absolutely necessary for students and citizens. If it is occasionally easy to observe the good practice of learners, there remains to determine how to train them and how to certify their abilities. The visaTICE project tries to face both issues. In this project, certification is a big challenge, but another challenge is to set up a system that takes into account the school context but that is not constrained by it. Presently the visaTICE project has developed online courses, tests, ability trees, coach training programs, which can be used in different contexts but we are not able to prove now, neither the training efficiencies, nor the suitability of the certification tests. A significant number of students will participate in the certification test for the first time in May 2012. Up to now, the collaborative design principle applied in visaTICE acts as a warranty.
