Training and certification in digital competences within the DigComp framework
The objective of the DigitAll project is the creation of materials and tools for training and certification in digital competences defined in the DigComp framework.
Learn about the project
Home
This project includes the creation of self-training materials and certification methods for all digital competences that a citizen should have. Our training content consists of educational videos, additional documentation, and interactive self-assessment activities. The videos cover essential theoretical concepts and practical applications through technological tools, while the documentation delves into advanced theories and tools.
Additionally, DigitALL offers versatile certification tools, including a varied question bank for each area, level, and competence. An innovative certification platform will be developed to facilitate semi-automatic exam generation. Our ultimate goal is to provide DigComp digital competence certification to the entire society.

Objectives
The DigitALL project seeks to promote digital competences, essential in today's society. Through this project, we develop materials and tools for training and certification within the DigComp framework.
The development of digital competences for citizens, and particularly for the university community, must be one of the main objectives of our society in the coming years. The European Union has been working on a common framework where these competences are described and developed. This framework is known as DigComp and is the European framework for digital competences for citizens.
The main objective of this project is twofold. On one hand, it aims to create high-quality self-training material that enables the acquisition of different levels of DigComp digital competences, particularly its 21 competences and 6 levels (A1-C2); and on the other hand, to develop mechanisms and tools that enable certification in these competence levels.
Training Material
At the core of DigitALL are the training materials, meticulously designed to address each of the 21 digital competences defined in the DigComp framework.
Video example
Document example
Each of these activities has been carefully developed to ensure an effective and enjoyable learning experience. This three-dimensional approach ensures comprehensive and detailed coverage of each competence, facilitating integral learning adapted to each user's needs.
These materials consist of 756 high-quality educational videos, each with an average duration of 6 minutes, offering clear explanations and relevant practical cases. Additionally, we have an extensive complementary documentation library, totaling more than 1,200 pages, providing theoretical and practical depth for each competence. The materials are complemented by 378 interactive activities for self-assessment, designed to reinforce learning and allow users to evaluate their understanding and progress.

Certification
The certification process in DigitALL aims to be a combination of rigor and accessibility, designed to comprehensively evaluate digital competences. With a total of 10,800 questions, the evaluation system is designed to cover all competences and levels of the DigComp framework (from A1 to C2).
For each competence and level, around 85 questions will be generated, making a total of 1,800 questions per level and a total of 10,800 questions. The questions will be distributed as follows:
- 20% will be multiple-choice questions, where the user can choose between various options, either in text or image format. Each question will have four options, and there may be one or several correct options.
- 15% will be true/false questions, where 4 statements will be presented and the user must determine if they are true or false.
- Another 15% will be classification questions, where the user must categorize simple concepts. Each question must contain at least 4 concepts to classify.
- Finally, 50% will be practical questions, where the user must perform an action in the virtual classroom environment associated with the certification to be obtained.
Besides the percentage of questions of each type, not all competences will have the same percentage of questions. Each competence has a weight percentage over the total, which indicates the number of questions to generate for each competence and level. This variety ensures that not only theoretical knowledge is evaluated, but also practical skills, fundamental in today's digital world.
Project Milestones
Key Milestones
- Development of Self-Training Material: Production of educational materials for the first 6 levels of DigComp (A1 to C2), including high-quality videos and comprehensive documentation on theory and practice, along with interactive activities to reinforce learning.
- Assessment Question Bank: Creation of an extensive set of questions to evaluate and certify DigComp competences, combining test and practical questions.
- Certification Platform: Development of an advanced platform for automatic and remote evaluation and certification tests, with completion projected for 2024.
- Material in Co-official Languages: Translation of training material into Catalan, Basque, and Galician, highlighting the commitment to inclusion and accessibility. This effort emphasizes Spain's linguistic diversity and promotes inclusive learning.
Work Organization
The organization of work in the DigitALL project has been structured to ensure effective and collaborative execution. Responsibilities have been distributed among participating universities, each contributing their expertise and resources in specific areas. A general coordination has been established, complemented by coordination levels for DigComp areas and levels. This structure allows for fluid and efficient collaboration, ensuring that each aspect of the project, from content creation to certification platform implementation, develops optimally and coherently.
