Online course for adult learners about DigComp competence 4: safety.
Following the digital competence framework, developed by the EC, this training module will cover the competencies to protect devices and digital content and to understand risks and
threats in digital environments: to know about safety and security measures and to have due regard to reliability and privacy.
The course will be structured in modules as follows:
1.1. Protecting devices
1.2. Protecting personal data and privacy
1.3. Protecting health and well-being
1.4. Protecting the environment
The training module will pay special attention to the following topics, to focus the main topics of the course on psychological aspects of cybersecurity:
a) Psychological behaviour and its effects (health effects)– it’s not the same as protecting personal data and privacy.
● Bullying, hating, negative vibe
● Self- presenting, comparing, presenting untrue info about myself and others
● manipulation
● Attention economy / dopamine addiction
b) Harmful behaviour – what are the effects of my harmful behaviour on my cybersecurity
● What kind of websites do I visit (f.e. ultra-right, porn/child porn, dark web, etc...)
● Illegal download
● How to protect others and the consequences of harming third parties rights: pictures and their sharing (f.e. naked pictures)
Adult learners with basic or no digital skills need to set the basis to develop them.
And the first step must be assured their safety while using ICT technologies and digital tools.

Online course for adult learners about competence 1: Information and data literacy.
In total, 3 online modules will be developed, for DigCom Level 2.
Following the digital competence framework, developed by the EC, this training module will cover the competencies for the Information and data literacy competence.
The structure of the module will be as follows:
1.1 Browsing, searching and filtering data, information and digital content
1.2 Evaluating data, information and digital content
1.3 Managing data, information and digital content
This module will put the focus on the following topic:
a) Critical thinking – hoax/fake news – what to believe.
Partners will put special emphasis on promoting the development of critical thinking skills into participants
Information and data literacy is a very relevant skill; during this module, participants will acquire the knowledge of setting their needs, find the information they need and also develop
the skill to differentiate real information from fake information. This last skill is in close relation to safety skills.
The course will follow the DigComp structure; the contents will be developed under the Andragogy methodology to adapt the course to the requirements of the target group. Gamification
will take on special prominence to motivate the participants to continue and move forward in the course. For each module successfully completed they will receive a digital badge that
they can share on social networks, professional profiles online or on their Europass CV.

Online course for adult learners about competence 2: communication and collaboration.
Following the digital competence framework, developed by the EC, this training module will cover the competencies for communication and collaboration literacy competence.

The course will follow the DigComp structure; the contents will be developed under the Andragogy methodology to adapt to the requirements of the target group. Gamification will take on
special prominence to motivate the participants to continue the course through all modules. For each module successfully completed participants will receive a digital badge that they
can share on social networks, professional profiles online or on their Europass CV. This will allow them to share their achievements and motivate them to get more badges. At the
same time, it will give visibility to the project.
The course will have a duration of at least 20 hours of e-learning training. The minimum content for each course will be one short video, 20 pictures, 4 infographics and 6 self-evaluation
activities. To receive the badge of completion, all participants must go through all training content and pass the final test that will appear at the end of each module.
Innovation:
- Use of proficiency levels. Even there are courses developed under this framework, there are no specific courses to train and certify the skills and knowledge of DigComp for low-skilled
adults.
- Certification of the course: for each course partners will develop a digital open badge to validate the knowledge gained for each participant during the course.
