DigCompOrg Framework The DigCompOrg framework has seven key elements and 15 sub-elements that are common to all education sectors. There is also scope for the addition of sector-specific elements and sub-elements. For each of the elements and sub-elements of DigCompOrg, a number of descriptors were developed (74 in total). Diagrammatically, the elements, sub-elements and descriptors of DigCompOrg are presented as the segments of a circle, with an emphasis on their inter-relatedness and inter-dependence. 3. Digital credentials The European Commission has developed the European Digital Credentials Infrastructure (EDCI) in order to support efficiency and security in how credentials such as qualifications and other learning achievements can be recognized across Europe. The EDCI will support authentication services for any digital documents or representations of information on skills and qualifications. A credential is a documented statement containing claims about a person issued by an educational organization following a learning experience. European Digital Credentials refer to learning achievements. Such achievements are activities (e.g. classes attended), assessments (e.g. projects), achievements (e.g. skills developed), professional entitlements (e.g. registration as a medical doctor) and qualifications.
