Big5 - 21st century skills
Since 2012, the European Commission has been working on a framework for digital skills assessment and learning.
The latest released framework - DigComp 2.2 - contains a list of 21 competences across five main areas in four proficiency levels: foundation, intermediate, advanced and highly specialised.
The listed 21st century competences encompass knowledge, skills and attitudes towards digital technologies.
SIMonS app will be developed based on the big five areas using an extensive literature research on digital skills assessment and learning content to provide a personalised and interactive experience to university students.
