"It is a commonly held belief that contemporary society is changing rapidly in the 21st century. As a result, citizens are charged with the task to reach the hectic pace of technological evolution in every aspect of their life. Furthermore life-long learning is widely accepted to be an inevitable part of modern man’s life in order to survive in an extremely competitive working environment. ICT plays a significant role in life-long learning as those without digital skills are nowadays considered to be illiterate. Even those with basic digital skills soon feel inefficient to respond to modern market demands, while those that manage to follow the technological changes and have advanced digital skills are much in request and very well-paid. The European Commission is promoting various initiatives aimed at increasing training in digital skills for the workforce; modernising education across the EU; harnessing digital technologies for learning and for the recognition and validation of skills; and anticipating and analysing skills needs.A strong digital economy is vital for innovation, growth, jobs and European competitiveness. The spread of digital is having a massive impact on the labour market and the type of skills needed in the economy and society.It is changing the structure of employment, leading to the automation of ""routine"" tasks and to the creation of new and different things: - It is leading to the need for more skilled ICT professionals in all sectors of the economy. It is estimated that there will be 500,000 unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals by 2020. - It is leading to the need for digital skills for nearly all jobs where ICT complements existing tasks. Careers such as engineers, teachers and many more - require increasing levels of digital skills.- It changes the way we learn by fostering online communities, by enabling personalised learning experiences, by supporting the development of soft skills such as problem solving, collaboration and creativity, and by making learning fun.- It is leading to the need for every citizen to have at least basic digital skills in order to live, work, learn and participate in the modern society.- The full potential for improving education through ICT in Europe remains yet to be discovered and this is why the European Commission is developing policy and supporting research to make learners fit for 21st century life and work.Educators of all sectors but most importantly adult education trainers face many challenges as they deal with increasingly complex and diverse learning situations and meet competence demands in a constantly changing work environment with the evolvement of new technologies, a constantly changing labour market with highly technical skill demands and a challenging socio-economic context. As a result, there is an urgent need for adult education trainers to enhance the uptake of ICT in teaching and learning, to promote stronger coherence of the needs of the labour market thus achieving a better skill match for their students as well as bridging the gap between education and the working world.The project will aim to develop an online learning platform and mobile tools for adult education trainers’ digital skills and competences improvement by participating in personal professional development programme. The Project will enhance digital integration in learning, teaching and training while promoting access and learning through open educational resources, supporting ICT-based training, learning and assessment at the education level.Project consortium will create an online, dynamic, multi assessed online platform, which will provide appealing and effective high tech possibilities for level – measuring, training and validating digital skills. This will help adult education trainers to control skill deficit and update their abilities throughout their career focusing on the current needs of the labour market and the economy. Project target groups are adult education trainers and LLP centre lecturers.Project intellectual outputs are:1. Digital literacy technical requirement report2. Digital skills learning outcomes for adult education trainers3. Digital skills training online learning platform 4. Mobile application for educational and technical softwares5. The usability toolkitProject partners have expertise in pedagogy and new ICT technologies into formal and non-formal education. All partners have necessary human capacity, experience and technical resources to fulfil requirements of the project activities.
