<< Background >>In the context of the current pandemic situation of COVID-19 all educational establishments (general, VET and continuing) have implemented an online teaching set-up. However,neither the schools nor the teachers have been fully prepared for carrying out high-quality and efficient online teaching processes.The MAIN TARGET GROUP of the DigiTise! Digital Toolkit for 50+ teachers projects addresses is VET teachers/trainers and teachers of general subjects working in VET and continuing education that belong to the 50+ age group and have recently had to change to online teaching. The main problem and and need that we have identified in the current circumstances of COVID-19 is the difficulty of many older (50+) educators and teachers to teach online and to deliver interesting and challenging lessons. In many cases this is due to very low level of digital literacy and lack training to improve their digital skills. During training events mobilities will be organised involving the teachers of the partner institutions with the capacity of multiplying and transfer the knowledge to other members of the target group and to create the intellectual outputs based on the knowledge learnt. The dissemination and exploitation activities will reach even more people throughout the lifetime and even after the end of the project.<< Objectives >>The partnership wishes to pursue 3 OBJECTIVES in order to meet the mentioned needs: 1). to transfer the know-how on 15 different types of digital tools within the partnership;2). to create and disseminate a Handbook containing the general description of core digital tools, at least 45 digital practice exercises for enhancing the quality of online teaching; 3). to create and disseminate 10 MOOC courses for the target group for developing 50+ teachers' basic and intermediate digital competencies and raise their digital competence level.<< Implementation >>The ACTIVITIES of the project will last for 2 years during which the 6 partner institutions will implement 5 work packages:1. Project management and quality assurance;2. Implementing teacher training sessions;3. Designing and developing the Handbook;4. Designing and developing the MOOC Courses;5. Dissemination and exploitation.<< Results >>Besides the direct results foreseen within each work package, the main RESULTS that the project develops are as follows: the Handbook and a series of 10 MOOC courses. The Handbook will contain 3 main chapters: a general outline of the digital toolkit for education, practical exercises, tasks, projects, quizzes, assignments using the digital toolkit as well as a guide on how the digital toolkit can be integrated into online courses. The MOOC courses will include a series of 10 short asynchronous courses with the aim of offering a graded approach to digital literacy development. The courses will include the following main sections:I. BASIC LEVEL COURSES: 2 short courses dealing with the development of the fundamental elements of digital literacyII. ELEMENTARY LEVEL COURSES: 4 short courses dealing with the development of elementary level elements of digital literacyIII. INTERMEDIATE LEVEL COURSES: 4 short courses dealing with the development of Intermediate level elements of digital literacyThe project will have an IMPACT on the main target group as well as other institutions and stakeholders from the VET and continuing education sector. The most important long termbenefits of the project include:- increased quality of education in the online space, by applying appealing and attractive online teaching tools- increased impact on learners and improved educational results by ensuring, that teachers are have gained higher level of digital competence and are more equipped with a digital toolkit for education;- more strategic, standardised and integrated use of digital tools in online education;- increased motivation for online learning, as learners will be able to attend more attractive, efficient and innovative online classes;- 50+ teacher will continue to be valuable members of didactic teams in the online space, not having to afraid for their job security
