Digital Portfolios + Micro-credentials = Massive Impact for Students & Teachers - Digital Promise
- Micro-credentials can serve as a scaffolded approach to personalizing professional learning for educators.
- Digital Promise’s micro-credential platform, powered by BloomBoard, houses more than 300 micro-credentials on skills teachers can develop in real-time, job-embedded contexts. Each micro-credential leverages research-backed methods and provides a clear path for educators to explore, develop, and understand best practices.

General Technology Competency and Use Framework | GTCU, EILAB
- What should learners learn? What should teachers teach? What should teachers know?
- The original objective of this particular project was, and remains, to develop a model of technological competencies that is consistent with other current educational theories, and completely applicable in any discipline or area of human activity outside of education, and therefore not limited to a pedagogical perspective
- Four Orders of Technological Competency
- imply the development of Four Orders of Competency, either as a prerequisite to making effective and efficient use of the technology, or as a result of using the technology for said purposes.
- practical knowledge generally developed through experience with the technology and applied as usable methods to interact effectively and efficiently with the technological object itself.
- communications experiences and centered on a genuine concern for the needs of others, in order to develop and use a strategy of thinking about, and acting with, others online, that is safe, respectful, viable and ethical
- An array of theoretical and practical knowledge generally developed by reflecting on results of a variety of document gathering activities in order to extract usable methods for the aggregation, identification, selection, organization and interpretation of information.
- An array of theoretical and practical knowledge about a specific discipline or domain generally developed through formal studies or experience and applied as usable methods to use domain specific digital tools effectively and efficiently.
- assign information processing tasks (computational use) to a digital tool (such as a spreadsheet, a database, a photo or music editing system or any other information processing software, including programming languages and authoring systems), for identifying and solving of problems or for the accomplishment of specified tasks.
- Everything we do with digital technology is a reflection of the combination of our intent and the technical possibilities of the tools themselves
- The GTCU Profile instrument asks questions regarding these Technical, Communicational, Informational and Computational uses of digital technology and then groups the results along the same lines giving us the following four orders of competency: Technical, Social, Informational and Epistemological.
- The generated graphs using Frequency of Use and Confidence of Use as major indicators of competency reflect these variations and thus illustrate our individual General Technological Competency and Use Profile
- Confidence of use is therefore considered here to affect motivation that in turn will affect the potential for learning and for improving competency.
- The relative competency of a user is therefore considered to grow with the breadth and frequency of experience.
- associated competency and skill development with different groups.

ICDE 2017 - Phill Hill - Future of LMS
Go to source page. Note slide 6: the limitations of MOOCs are really making LMS' gain more prominence nor less. Slides 9 and 10 is showing what online learning used to be - something in the corner - because they were let loose, their impact is significant. Importance and value of online learning on slide 12 Important remark on slide 15 Slide 18,19, 20: the addition of incredible features to LMS, so not needed. the big ones showcased on slide 23. Note slide 24, where Canvas from the list of new comers is the only one becoming mainstream Note inflection point for Moodle and Sakai on slide 26 (North America only), then outside of North america on slide 27. Slide 28: Moodle still reigns, followed by Blackboard. Note especially in Latin America Slide 30: importance of responsiveness to all devices Slide 31: use of mobile device Slide 32-34: the initial ideas behind LMS design - the fortress, with a timeline of added features as the technology outside the LMS advanced (it was replicated inside the LMS) Slide 35-36: is the rupture of this pattern, with the break of the walls and finally the use of external tools as part of the LMS Slide 37: another important trend - analytics - which can bring back personalization to teaching. Personalization trends on slide 41 Main point made again at the end on slide 43
