[Project Number: 2021-1-CY01-KA220-VET-000033254] Instructional planning for education, training and employment The DigComp Community of Practice (CoP) hosted 575 members not only from European countries but mostly from educational organizations (university teachers, researchers and students), third- sector organizations, governments, businesses and international organizations (Vuorikari et al., 2022). Professional development programs for teachers in various EU countries have embraced the DigComp Framework for teachers’ digital competence building (Vuorikari et al, 2016). In Croatian primary and secondary schools, open educational resources, including learning cases based on the DigComp framework, were developed both for students and teachers. In addition to that, in Poland, many trainings and certifications were created by education companies under the DigComp framework and received funding from EU Programs (CEPIS, 2021). Assessment and certification The DigComp seems to have greater visibility across tools for assessing people’s digital competences. For example, the Basque Government mentioned before offers a free-of-charge diagnostic tool for assessing one’s own digital competence with online tests (Vuorikari et al., 2016). In Greece, the National Digital Skills Academy allows improving citizens' and professionals' digital skills - the skills they need in their everyday digital life - with a free choice of courses provided on its online platform (National Digital Academy, 2022).
